Astronaut

We have left the ground below
Where our earthly frames embarked
And drew on clouds a fiery arc
And danced on winds our metal lark.

We rode the torch into the dark
Where the careless stars pass by
And planets in their cradles lie
To touch the edges of the sky.

Should our children question why,
If we die to give them stars,
And guide them to the face of Mars,
Tell them that the choice was ours.

Tell them proudly bear their scars
As we set the skies aglow
With our deeds let all men know
There is no place man cannot go.

I had this dream last night that I was preparing to fly on the Space Shuttle. An appropriate way to say goodbye to the program.

First the 4th, then STS-135, and finally Cape May in 2 days.

This is an awesome week!

YouTube - ‪Boot leg fireworks gone wrong‬‏

Those kind of videos are the kind that i want the participant to get serious injuries. To make them think twice about doing it again. How stupid do you have to be to stand 3-4m away from a home made firework, then film it and then post it on youtube, your just convicting your self.

the participant to get serious injuries.

From the owners of houses their firework accident could have burned down. Imagine one of these flying into a window - instant room firestorm.

Is it just me or was this guy overreacting way too much to the bush slightly catching fire? :lol:

Seriously crazy maniac there. Hope it knocked some sense into him.

Finished campaign mode in Modern Warfare 2 yesterday (just got my PS3 in December, catching up on a lot of titles). Ready for MW3 in November.

Until then, going through the Spec Ops levels solo, trying to get at least 2 stars on each before I move on to the next. Sniper Fi says the 2-stars level will test my ability. So far, it's living up to that.

I will also probably get Black Ops in a couple weeks.

Yes! My notebook has been repaired, mainboard replaced, I hope they did nothing with the HDD...

Silly games. It's fun to play but leaves an aftertaste of oxymoron.

The X-37B Orbital Test Vehicle in the encapsulation cell at the Astrotech facility April 13, 2010, in Titusville, Florida. Air Force officials are scheduled to launch the X-37B April 21, 2010, at Cape Canaveral Air Station, Florida. The X-37B is the U.S.'s newest and most advanced unmanned re-entry spacecraft.

The X-37B Orbital Test Vehicle sits on the runway at Vandenberg Air Force Base, Calif., Dec. 3, 2010, during post-landing operations. Personnel in self-contained atmospheric protective ensemble suits are conducting initial checks on the vehicle and ensuring the area is safe. The X-37B launched April 22 from Cape Canaveral, Fla., allowing teams to conduct on-orbit experiments for more than 220 days during this first mission.

The X-37B sits on the Vandenberg Air Force Base runway during post-landing operations Dec. 3. The X-37B, named Orbital Test Vehicle 1 (OTV-1), conducted on-orbit experiments for more than 220 days during its maiden voyage. It fired its orbital maneuver engine in low-earth orbit to perform an autonomous reentry before landing.



I would LOVE to know what was inside the cargo bay.
Or even better, in orbit pictures.



A second X-37B mission, designated USA-226, was launched aboard an Atlas V rocket, on 5 March 2011. The mission was classified and described by the US military as to test out new space technologies.
