What, no fireworks?
(okay, so yes, that was tasteless.)
Man, it's not NASCAR. I don't watch launches for the crashes.

YEah we just watched it at the store on a SONY Ruby 1080p projector and 120" screen sitting in our new leather theatre recliners with built in ice chest and beverages. In HD it was spectacular (almost as good as the girls on Get Out).
OBAMA= One Big A** Mistake America!

On a clear day we can see it from Lakeland, but I would sure like to watch it from Coco Beach. I just cant justify the trip over to have it scrubed.
It never gets old to me. I have watched every one possible. Absolutly amazing.

1 Corinthians 1:18---For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.
I've been watching the launchings since Alan Shepard. I'm still amazed and proud of what we've been able to accomplish.

Meh, let's just drop the space shuttle, and move on to the next thing. The Space Shuttle is broken as designed :/
And this time, let's not let the AF get it's claws into the program. What they want from space and what the civvies want from space are two different things; instead, give the AF enough money to do what they need to do in space on their own.
Here's a history of animals in space from NASA. Digging in the wayback machine, John Glenn came after Alan Shepard. Shepard was the first American in space, Glenn was the first to orbit the planet.
