A Big ThankYou to Shuttle_Guy

[spacefire]

shuttle_guy does know everything there is to know about the shuttle.<br />maybe he should put his experience(s) into a book, as the shuttle is retired and takes its place in history. And it's about time for that! <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p>http://asteroid-invasion.blogspot.com</p><p>http://www.solvengineer.com/asteroid-invasion.html </p><p> </p> </div>

Well, let's face it folks, he's the CDR of our mission in space enthusiasm.<br /><br />When I was a young fella, collecting newspaper cuttings about Apollo in scrapbooks, I never thought I would have the opportunity now furnished by the internet to 'speak' to someone who was working on that, and on all that has followed. His contribution around here is simply immense.<br /><br />Thanks SG.<br /><br /><br /><br /> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><em><font size="2" color="#ff0000">Who is this superhero?  Henry, the mild-mannered janitor ... could be!</font></em></p><p><em><font size="2">-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------</font></em></p><p><font size="5">Bring Back The Black!</font></p> </div>

Damn right there SK, I also never would have thought I would *talk* to a Spacecraft Engineer. The Internet is surely a wonderful tool.<br />Isn't there a few other guys on here that work/support the space program? Testing for instance? <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p> </p><p> </p><p>----------------------------------------------------------------- </p><p>Wanna see this site looking like the old SDC uplink?</p><p>Go here to see how: <strong>SDC Eye saver </strong>  </p> </div>

<font color="yellow">"is there some sort of hierarchy here which dictates who can jab at who?"</font><br /><br />It's not a question of who jabs at who but <i>how</i> do you jab at someone. The form of jabs that stay within good taste vary by the target. IMO good taste is to jab with same caliber ammo that you have seen your target using. That means you just don't make somewhat clumsy G-innuendos at a person who cultivates very sophisticated style of humour that never offends anyone. Especially not outside Freespace where G-stuff oughta be limited to.<br /><br />For what it's worth I don't consider you a troll, trolls don't make such a massive contributions to capsule-wings-LB debates. Sorry about the vacuum chamber thing but couldn't resist. I really really don't want to see these pros to abandon this place because of one bad taste joke too many.<br />

<font color="yellow"> I just want to express my appreciation to shuttle_guy for all his help and wisdom over the last two and a half years. <br />You have endured insults, rants and lots of dumb questions. <br />You have certainly opened this 52 year old's eyes and I've been a space nut since 1961. <br />Glad you were here to share it with us. <br />I hope you are here for many, many more. <br />Well done SG. <br /></font><br /><br />hear hear!<br />Teije

Allow me to add my thanks.<br /><br />We all benefit from a resident subject matter expert.<br />Will you morph into CEV_guy?

 

[dreada5]

Yeah thanks SG! <img src="/images/icons/smile.gif" />

 

[shuttle_rtf]

Congrats Dave, great mission.

 

[viper101]

Just wanted to add my sincere appreciation to the list for SG - soon to be CEV_guy and of course (fingers crossed) Lunar_Lander guy, Mars_orbiter guy...etc etc....<br /><br /><img src="/images/icons/wink.gif" />

Sorry about the vacuum chamber thing but couldn't resist. </font><br /><br />No, I'm not a troll, if some of my posts are inflamatory it's just because I am bitter with the current state of the aerospace industry.<br />No need to apologize for the joke, I don't take these kind of things to heart. All in good fun. <img src="/images/icons/smile.gif" /> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p>http://asteroid-invasion.blogspot.com</p><p>http://www.solvengineer.com/asteroid-invasion.html </p><p> </p> </div>

 

[quasar2]

yeh i`ve been kinda wonderin that too. what would you change your name to SG? & yes thanks you`ve helped out here alot. especially your input on Lunar matters. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> </div>

 

[fkawi1]

Yes thanks SG, you are the sharpest knife in the drawer by far! By the way, you deliver your humor very smoothly and in good taste. I have learned so much from your vast knowledge and experience. <br /><br /><br />Oh and by the way, if everyone didn't get the chance to read the latest of the "Att: Shuttle Bashers" thread, I would like to apologize to everyone( including spacefire)for such a bad delivery of what I was trying to say there. Could we just erase that and start new? I was just upset. No need to go there. I am new here and don't want to start out on the wrong foot and be considered a a**hole or a jerk which everyone hates! I failed to realize that one simple concept that always seems to escape me," think before you speak". Please forgive me and "can we start over"?.........................................<br /> <br /><br />"Does not play well with others"<br />

 

[spacefire]

It's OK, it shows you are very passionate about the shuttle, I can respect that even if I don't share your opinion. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p>http://asteroid-invasion.blogspot.com</p><p>http://www.solvengineer.com/asteroid-invasion.html </p><p> </p> </div>
