Good choice putting $4,000 rims on your 1990 Honda Civic. That's like Betty White going out and getting her tits done.

That was so awesome! I was out on the balcony at work. I saw it fly by the Capitol, and then it flew right over me. Amazing.

I'm not going to lie: when I watched the HD video of the landing I got a little choked up. To end the shuttle program with no successor is, in my mind, a huge disservice to the men and women who gave their lives to expand our boundaries.

Couldn't have said it better myself. Manufacturing was taken away from the US a long time ago, engineering is starting to be. What will we be left with after that in the world economy?

I'll trade you one Baseball perjury trial and one Secret Service prostitution investigation for one Mars landing.
