Yeah, a real triumph, hitching a ride with the US, aboard a craft, however buggy, that neither Canada nor the UK could build, even if either had the money.

They would have, but the last time someone flushed it, it fell out into space. I think she was picked to fix it because she’s the one who clogged it. Probably a feminine hygiene product.

Reminds me of cute little song my kids sang in kindergarten:
“Bend and stretch,
Reach for the stars,
There goes Jupiter,
There goes Mars......”

May have influenced today’s space travelers

That’s why it is a triumph, setting the (tie) record for distance from earth and other things very much on the cheap.
A tremendous value for the money they put out.

I really miss sonic booms, no joke. Grew up in the country, and playing outside, I’d see what looked like a jet heading to Kinchloe, and sat waiting on the grass with glee. What a bunch of killjoys, taking away that experience.

Being stuck in SoCal, this is pretty much the highlight of my day, that and watching the hobos who talk to themselves pass by. My brother lives in Irvine, about an hour away from San Diego so he will probably feel it more

Living in Michigan, I met a lot of Canadians in my youthful years, not one of them ever put out.

BS about Canada. I’m sick of Carney and other Canadians trying to make this all about them. I have yet to hear any Canadian give credit to the US and all our people who made this happen.

If a plane crashes on the border of Canada and the USA where do you bury the survivors?
