Perhaps now that the space shuttle is history the author of the thread could be persuaded to revise the thread title.  Perhaps.

I guess you didn't watch the NASA people rubbing the world's nose in it. At least 4 other undisclosed countries took part in America's greatness. I mean, WTF? My point is... my pride for my country has been slipping away for some time and this bit of arrogance was a kind of last straw. I don't expect a people so full of themselves to have any clues about what I'm feeling. This nation is in serious decay. Now I know why Lao Tzu left his city and walked off into the wilderness. It's a logical reaction of one who both thinks and feels and cannot take it anymore.

I'm glad our ingenuity has prevailed, but as thinking beings, we have strayed a long way from wisdom; for pride is still a deadly sin against ourselves.

I'm sorry if this offends anyone.

The real coverage doesn't start until 11:30.

 What would be cool would be to actually have a cam on once they expose the radar, maybe they do. Anyway, it takes a radio signal 14 minutes to get here, so it should be pretty tense for NASA waiting on word back. Dunno how long video would take to download. It's gonna be simple still photos and B/W stuff at first I think, then they eventually ramp it up to the real video equipment.
