Don't be fooled by appearances. In Hawaii, some of the most powerful people look like bums and stuntmen.

Since the closure of the U.S. space program I wonder if one of the astronauts was wondering if he could hitch a ride back home.

Re: Meteor From Space
That's kinda like the ISS watching the final landing of Atlantis.
I would have given just about anything to be able to be there to see that.

My opinions are mine and mine only. If my opinions are the opinion of others who happen to share whatever my crazy views may be, then fine, but it's not because I represent them in having my opinions. Got it?

Re: Meteor From Space
I found that Atlantis picture I was talking about:

Actually, two of them:

I still can't believe that I heard the sonic boom. I stood outside, figuring it was going to be too far away. And then, there it was... so very loud, even from 65 miles away.
And it was my first time seeing the ISS. Lots of people, thanks to the timing, thought the ISS was Atlantis. :D:
