    Shuttle

    Well, it looks like the shuttle made it home safe. Good news!
    I know I don't get there often enough,
    but God knows I surely try
    It's a magic kind of medicine,
    that no doctor could prescribe.

    I would go in a heartbeat, and they would not have to adjust the seat, maybe except for my height.

    They might not have to adjust my seat either but I'm almost certain it would require a good cleaning.

    Re: Shuttle

    Thank God that they landed safely! I was certain when W got on the phone with them on national TV last week that he was basically saying goodbye forever because he was at such a loss for words. Oh, wait ... he's always at a loss for words. (Don't get defensive, W fans - I voted for him, too.)

    Don't think I'd even make it to the seat.

    I know I would enjoy the view once I got there, but I'm just not comfortable sitting on top of a missle.

    I would be no less comfortable sitting in that seat on top of a missle than sitting in my automobile's seat attempting to drive across Hwy 98 in the Summer.

    Re: Shuttle

    Y'all know that once in a great while, the plane that transports the shuttle from California back to Kennedy SC will make a refeuling stop at Eglin. Not every trip, but there have been times people have seen them taking off over Choctawhatchee Bay from the twin cities area.

    Ditto for me, too. I wasn't trying to pick a political fight (thus my disclaimer). I am sincerely happy that the crew made it back alive.

    One really has to walk on eggshells when posting on this message board. YIKES! But I love you guys/gals - you entertain me and educate me.

    I find it amazing they can fly like this. It just doesn't look right to me.

    Reminds me of my neighbor's Mississippi Leg Hound.

    From the nasa.gov site:

    "In about a week, after undergoing preparations at Edwards, Discovery will be ferried back to NASA's Kennedy Space Center, Fla., atop a modified Boeing-747 aircraft."

    Expect they'll have more detail later. Then again, might not publish exact schedule (where/when) to avoid making it more of a target for baddies.

    I saw the shuttle being transported over Destin once. Although don't remember which one - I must of killed that brain cell. Or maybe I was just drinking when I thought I saw it!

    It must have been the IT admin folks at work filtering out the double entendre. Now that I'm home, it's perfectly obvious.

    Sorry, but I do not understand "entendre." Is this some kind of Snoop Dogg terminology?
