Without the developments in radar and communications done at Fort Monmouth, New Jersey there never would have been a space program. Learn a little history for heavens sake.

You can take cheap shots all you want buddy. I live in one of the top 10 richest counties in the United States and it is beautiful countryside. I guess in your mind you have a caricature of New Jersey that you think is reality but I hate to break it to you, not everything is like you think it is. New Jersey is not just Essex, Hudson and Camden Counties. Perhaps you ought to learn a little bit about places before you speak of them cause frankly you just sound ignorant and I am sure you’re smarter than that.

I understand the chagrin of the Hustonians... I do. But why would you want a shuttle after this muslim impostor has slobbered all over it. There was no good logical reason to end the shuttle program other than to further weaken America. There is no such thing as an “end of life” to a successful project - you either maintain it or keep reinvesting. This muslim has KILLED our space program and got us all to buy in to it and start fighting over the carnage.

They only place the shuttle's belong is filled full of nukes in Mecca... or stuffed up Barry Hussein's arse. Barry is gerbiling himself to ecstasy over this subtle victory.

As much as it pains me to say it, Bush announced the end of the shuttle program in 2004, but he authorized the Constellation program as a successor. The Muslim killed Constellation in 2009.

Yes, my business visit and stay in Elizabeth was most memorable. It just over a year after 9-11 and we were there to train airport workers on new IED detection technology.

WTF with NJ and not letting people pump their own gas?

The part I enjoyed the most was my Saturday morning drive to NYC since I’d never been there before. My visit to Ground Zero was quite disturbing; it was the saddest place on earth.

What I can say is that I never before appreciated the size of NYC or the pride that New Yorkers had for their city. It is nothing short of awesome.

Then I had to return to New Jersey. Damn.

Some parts definately stink but it’s not all bad. Once you get away from the urban areas, people are generally quite friendly and laid back. Northwest NJ is represented by one of the most conservative members of congress (Garret). If you ever come back here, come to my part of the state. We’ll treat you right and you’ll have a good time.

Fair enough.

Don’t judge Houston be the 5th Ward (Sheila Jackson Lee).
