I am quite upset about that link SG because if Beeker and Lord lucan were NOT actually at KSC let alone Florida then may'be Armstrong never set foot on the Moon!:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:

P.S has that possibility ever been mentioned before?;)

Hmmmmmmmmmmm did i tell yiz i will be at the launch of sts-131 and will post the pictures to prove it!!!!!{will have to use a proxy service to fool boards though:)}

I had to use blackmail on Bolden i told him i knew his secret that he once Loved NASA and being an Astronaut and i would leak that fact to the press!

Beeker

Another beautiful pass just now. Can't beat these clear skies:)

ynotdu

Well as usual when i checked never mind the light pollution here, sky was covered from east to west with cloud:(

Honestly you guys are driving Me to distraction giving me info on things i dont get to see!:)

I know that the airline had no choice but to suspend the ATC and the supervisor,but was pis*ed at the swine who released it to the press.
The pilots found it very amusing and lets face it the kid was only relaying what professionals watching the screens were telling him to say.
Where is the sense of humour gone:( another victom of 9/11.

Having said that knowing Beeker i would genuinely be frightened if my flight co-incided with a Shuttle launch! :eek::D
