Shortstop

I had lunch today with a guy headed down to watch the launch - with a VIP ticket. Only one more chance. http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/nation/la-na-shuttle-launch-20110428,0,379562.story

The Confederate soldier was peculiar in that he was ever ready to fight, but never ready to submit to the routine duty and discipline of the camp or the march. The soldiers were determined to be soldiers after their own notions, and do their duty, for the love of it, as they thought best. Carlton McCarthy | |

Sad. The era of US-led manned space exploration ends. Now we'll have to buy tickets from the Chinese, Russians and Japanese. That may be, in the long run, cheaper ("If it flies, floats...."), but still sad. As someone who remembers going into his back yard to watch Sputnik fly overhead, and as someone who sneaked making drawings of the Redstone rocket in math class, I feel a sense of loss. |
