Shuttle

Well, it looks like the shuttle made it home safe. Good news!

Yea... Special seats in those things to make room for the large ones it takes to ride. :blink:

You've got that right. None for me thanks!

I would go in a heartbeat, and they would not have to adjust the seat, maybe except for my height.

They might not have to adjust my seat either but I'm almost certain it would require a good cleaning.

Thank God that they landed safely! I was certain when W got on the phone with them on national TV last week that he was basically saying goodbye forever because he was at such a loss for words. Oh, wait ... he's always at a loss for words. (Don't get defensive, W fans - I voted for him, too.)

:lolabove: Don't think I'd even make it to the seat. :floor:

I know I would enjoy the view once I got there, but I'm just not comfortable sitting on top of a missle.

I would be no less comfortable sitting in that seat on top of a missle than sitting in my automobile's seat attempting to drive across Hwy 98 in the Summer.

I want nothing to do with that. Too early, boring anyway.

Ditto - Air's already plenty warm down there already. 😀

Y'all know that once in a great while, the plane that transports the shuttle from California back to Kennedy SC will make a refeuling stop at Eglin. Not every trip, but there have been times people have seen them taking off over Choctawhatchee Bay from the twin cities area.

Ditto for me, too. I wasn't trying to pick a political fight (thus my disclaimer). I am sincerely happy that the crew made it back alive.

One really has to walk on eggshells when posting on this message board. YIKES! But I love you guys/gals - you entertain me and educate me.

...the plane that transports the shuttle from California back to Kennedy...

Now there's a real truck driver - 85-90 tons that thing weighs empty...

I find it amazing they can fly like this. It just doesn't look right to me.

Reminds me of a mama opposum carrying the babies on her back.

I hear they refuel that jet twice on the to Florida from Calif. Maybe we will get a photo if we know when they are coming over.
