You lose.

Bereft of facts or the ability to construct logical arguments, you are reduced to name calling.

Most of us were educated past that point by the time we got to high school.

Just since we have most of the space folks all in one place here- here’s something cool that I found on the net. It isn’t a shooter, it isn’t a ‘space wars’ kind of thing, and it isn’t easy to learn- but it is an excellent freebie. Be sure to also get the free sound package for it:

Orbiter- Free speceflight simulator.

I am working on buying a house at the moment. When I have managed that and settled in- my goal with this thing is to take a Shuttle from the pad to a successful docking with the ISS. I haven’t managed it yet.

Tell your parents that they shouldn’t let you use the computer unsupervised.

Sadly we didn’t even get a window to rattle here, but it was a very nice landing!

Thank you. The Hubble mission should be very interesting, and I’m wondering if the May launch will benefit from the delay with any new instrument design.

I believe that was the reason for the delay, so that the replacement part the science data formatter could be tested..

Thanks for the ping, Kevin. I love when they land here and heard the boom, although was not able to watch.

In the 25 years from 1945 to 1970, German scientists took us from the V-2 to the moon, with no Americans lost in flight.

Bzzzzt. False.
