Keifer -> OT - Space Shuttle fly-bys wasting $$$'s because the USA is awesome! (4/27/2012 10:47:47 PM)

I don't care what anybody says, this is a great country when we can fly space shuttles on the backs of 747's around our major cities just for fun and photo ops!

USA! USA! USA!

Yep, backing away very slowly from this one....



Historiker -> RE: OT - Space Shuttle fly-bys wasting $$$'s because the USA is awesome! (4/28/2012 1:09:32 AM)

funny, how you come in just to tell you go out [:D]

Didn't you know what the old Troll hunting book "En Slik Bjørn Dritt" says? On Page 369 it says:
quote:

"Jeg er smart nok til å bruke oversetteren på nettet, men det er fortsatt en bjørn for å være så negativ dritt!"

Meaning: To attract a troll, there's nothing better than to shoult out loud: "warning, trolls will come!"



USSAmerica -> RE: OT - Space Shuttle fly-bys wasting $$$'s because the USA is awesome! (4/28/2012 1:11:05 AM)

Better in here than elsewhere. [:D]

ilovestrategy -> RE: OT - Space Shuttle fly-bys wasting $$$'s because the USA is awesome! (4/28/2012 9:18:01 AM)

I think it's pretty awesome. I was a kid when the space shuttle program started and it's been here all my adult life. I'm glad to see a send off like this.



tocaff -> RE: OT - Space Shuttle fly-bys wasting $$$'s because the USA is awesome! (4/28/2012 12:35:59 PM)

Sometimes publicity is needed to get public support for funding of projects. A pretty nifty sight and if I hadn't moved to Brazil I would've shot many pics from a window in my old home. Next trip back to the US, this summer?, I'll visit the Intrepid once more.



Grfin Zeppelin -> RE: OT - Space Shuttle fly-bys wasting $$$'s because the USA is awesome! (4/28/2012 1:21:35 PM)

Ah I can provide some trolling if it is requested.



Historiker -> RE: OT - Space Shuttle fly-bys wasting $$$'s because the USA is awesome! (4/28/2012 1:24:20 PM)

You always try very hard, but you're just too funny!
Sorry, Gräfin!



cristianwj -> RE: OT - Space Shuttle fly-bys wasting $$$'s because the USA is awesome! (4/28/2012 1:35:20 PM)

Gotta agree with you 100% there. That is a cool shot, and this is great country. Any country that has restaurants where the condiments are free, and where the toilet paper is nice and thick, is a great country. [:D]

Many people born here and have never been anywhere else can be really quite spoiled and have no idea just how well they have it, especially during rough periods.



Walloc -> RE: OT - Space Shuttle fly-bys wasting $$$'s because the USA is awesome! (4/28/2012 4:57:13 PM)

So on one page T has been refered too as a goat, a bear and a troll. Ah, all in a days work. Continue nothing to see here.

Btw Gräfin, i just made dinner to 8 ppl, could u go troll my kitchen for a couple of hours please, on request ofc.


Kind regards,

Rasmus



Cribtop -> RE: OT - Space Shuttle fly-bys wasting $$$'s because the USA is awesome! (4/28/2012 5:31:25 PM)

It's a great country all right, and a cool shot, but failing to let Houston get one of the shuttles is a crime. Johnson Space Center a/k/a Mission Control was kind of important to the space program and stuff. Don't get me wrong, I love New York City, so this isn't a slam of Gotham. A cynic would analyze the politics of the states that got shuttles and the state that didn't and reach certain conclusions about the decision making process involved and the role of politics in said process.

I just thank goodness that you're not a cynic, nor would you be able to identify with one. [;)]

God bless that troll. He has brought us all together as a community....[:D]

A cynic? Perish the thought! I have always found my fellow man to behave honorably so long as it was in his own self interest. [:D]

PS My Texas based grumpiness on the issue aside, it is a seriously cool photo. [&o]

Treetop64 -

Last June, while picking up a rafting trip at Hecla Junction - a major rafting put in and take out on the Arkansas River (which has very nice, clean restrooms maintained by the park service), a European rafting guest commented that the USA was the only country wealthy enough to build restrooms in the middle of nowhere. I am with you Sir...

That's a good story Mac, I loved that. [:D]

I especially loved the "STATE Welcome Center" along the interstates.

You are really blessed to live in that country! [&o]

I don't think that T qualifies as any of the above, well maybe an Old Goat, but not today. What he was up-to was stating that this post was going to attract our Trolling personalities. [:-]

Don´t get me wrong, it is a beautiful and memorable sight.

But actually I would have been far more impressed, had NASA been able to get a replacement vehicle ready and operational before flying circles over major cities
showing museum pieces.

As things are, it just makes me sad. Salute, Enterprise.

^^ An example of an honest troll. ^^

I'm sure those astronauts wouldn't feel quite the same way...[8|]
