[Joe Boucher]

N.A.S.A. lost their edge and got to be a large government agency afraid to take chances.

[Joe Boucher]

About 5 minutes before launch I’ll go up on my roof and watch.

[BJClinton]

Who cares?

Paris hilton was crying for mommy when she was led off to jail.

Thanks...

I searched and saw that thread - but didn’t see the LIVE part of it.

[agent_delta]

Really adds to the “street cred”.

WTF??? No women? No Jews? No blacks? No representative from CAIR?

How very un-PC.

Joking aside, I want to go and watch the launch, but we have had a lot of rain here today in Indian River County, FL and it is still cloudy so I wouldn't be able to see it. Damn.

I have seen a bunch of launches since moving to FL and it is the most amazing thing. Americana. Even if it is night and cloudy, excluding the amazing sight of the red-hot liftoff, the view can't compare to a clear day or night. Just can't see it through the clouds. Double damn.

You’re welcome. Kevin Davis always starts it. He has a ping list, I believe.

[raygun]

Yo.

[agent_delta]

Please add me to your Shuttle ping list.

"WTF???...No Jews?...How very un-PC."

How do you know that none of them are Jews, Sinbad? Did you check their activities on Sabbath days?

[onedoug]

4:38 Pacific ping!

[synbad600]

No, and I knew I'd get flamed for at least one! I was strickly basing it on last names.

Just illustrating the absurdity of our PC culture and of how much it sucks. Everything seems to be reduced to that. Sigh.

[doodad]

I guess NASA come and goes — but we’ll always have Paris.

Haha. Here's looking at you kid! %^)

"No, and I knew I'd get flamed for at least one! I was strickly basing it on last names.

] PC folks post assumptions that Jews get hiring preferences. They actually have to work a lot harder than Ayrabs to get hired in the USA. There are many Jewish people with last names of western European origin--not only German and Russian surnames.

IMO, the PC trend (along with most organized crime) comes mostly from the descendants of those hordes of western Europeans flooding into our nation from the mid 1800s to the late 1900s. They now comprise most of the "Kennedy Wing" and complain about Jews a lot. There were communities of Jews here long before them.

Engines rumbling

[Prophet in the wilderness]

I love the sound of rumbling engines in the morning.
I see these bumper stickers out now saying " I love the sound of Jet engines " or something to that effect.

[agent_delta]

I have one on my truck that says...

I love Jet Noise

[Prophet in the wilderness]

YEAH ! thats it...ohhh, the enviro wackos would not like it, but ? so what.
I have to find a link on ( Flightlevel350 ) with a video of a 747 taking off and the person who taped it says in his video ( turn up the volume,,, this is when the plane is about 1000 feet and the engines throttle back and you hear the drone of the engines ) he says, beautiful sound.
