What have legos come to!

When I was a child, there would have been hundreds of pieces in that model. That "space shuttle" is 15 pieces, at most.

OMG! China's going to replace the US as the next great superpower! They've attained spaceflight! In, erm, 15 years! Only half a century late!

On a serious note, President Bush needs to militarize space NOW. Before the liberals totally tie our hands and give space to the commies.
