    I will have these people in my thoughts today as they we return to space today. They have a top-notch commander in Collins.

    Don't go into woods. because tree-hugger lurk. Municipalities order Test Team to get ice from Canada. It did not have air bubbles and harder ice replicates tragedy. Just to figure ratio.

    Took me a while to find NASA's channel on my satellite, so I can watch it now. Good luck to them and I'm proud to see they are going back up.

    If my memory is correct, the shuttles were built by Rockwell. Yes, the same company responsible for the B-1 Hangar Queen.

    We agree on this one. It should have been the 14th in honor of Bastille Day.
