I'd like to take this opportunity to say congradulations to the crew of the Space Shuttle Endeavour (STS-94) for their OUTSTANDING work on the latest ISS mission. The views I saw of the EVA-cams on Joe and Carlos's helmets was fabulous. It's really beggining to look like ISS is coming along swimming well.
I got to tour NASA/Kennedy Space Center a few weeks ago and one of the parts of the tours was they took us out to LC-39-B where the Endeavour was on the pad before launch. If you ever get to come to Florida, gang, visit KSC-Cape Canaveral. It's well worth it.

First: Yeah, and cell phones used to be science fiction.

To refute the solipsist or the metaphysical idealist all that you have to do is take him out and throw a rock at his head: if he ducks he's a liar." --Edward Abbey

My uncle lived in Florida while working for General Electric. Something to do with the design and construction of the flight control system for Apollo, which is both why he was in Florida and why I thought this post was relavent when I started typing it.
