Saw the Space Shuttle yesterday around 12:30 near my sister’s house, it was cool since it was my first time seeing it in person. Heard about how they have to get rid of 300+ trees so I can imagine the environmentalist kooks will be livid over it, so what, they are livid about everything

BTW, the 300+ trees are being replaced with 800 new trees.

It wasn't the environmentalists but the residents of South LA who lost a lot of necessary mature shade trees.

The before and after pictures betray a now starkly barren neighborhood that people have to live with for one pass of the shuttle.

There is nowhere down there to plant 800 trees to replace the 400 removed much less expect shade from the little saplings anytime in a residents' lifespan.

It was not the final landing that should have been befitting the Endeavor.
