Yeah, you've seen it on the news but it's cooler when someone sends you a pic taken by a real camera by a real human being. (Not those alien TV people.)
I've always been confused by the Space Shuttle. Can imagine the initial conversation?:
NASA official #1: Uh, we gotta get it back to Florida somehow.
NASA
official #2: So fly the thing back.
NASA official #1: It can't fly.
NASA official #2:
Whatdayamean it can't fly?
NASA official #1: The Space Shuttle can't fly.
NASA official #2: We can put a man on the moon but the Space Shuttle can't fly from California to Florida?
NASA official #1:
Nuh uh.
NASA official #2: What do you propose?
NASA official #1: We are going to have a 747 give it a piggy back ride.
NASA official #2: You're kidding, right?
NASA official #1: Nope.
NASA official #2: And you call yourself a rocket scientist.
(Thanks,
