I have a beautiful award framed on my wall from a Columbia launch. I will treasure it even more now.

If I might change the subject to something trivial for a moment, did anyone else see Dan Rather make an idiot out of himself today, talking about how the wings on the SS don't actually support it like a "real" airplane?

Memo to Dan: "Shut your d*mned mouth when you have no idea what you are talking about."

What's he think holds the Shuttle up when it is in the atmosphere during re-entry, MAGNETS?

It's bad enough that diasaters like this happen from time to time; ignorant network boobs who are technically clueless only add insult to our injury.
