Shuttle coverage, ****** style

[shuttle_rtf]

This is really pathetic. I want this guy's head on a stick, pronto.<br /><br />http://www.sierratimes.com/05/08/06/163_231_6_86_67554.htm<br />

 

[spaceinator]

sounds like that guy on "60 minutes" <img src="/images/icons/smile.gif" />

 

[shuttle_rtf]

I'm English, so I don't know who that would be, but I take it he is a wanker too? <img src="/images/icons/wink.gif" />

<br />As a side note, what a slick looking website. If it had some midi background music it would be perfect.

 

[shuttle_rtf]

heh, PHP means something rude to webprogrammers apparently <img src="/images/icons/wink.gif" />

 

[tap_sa]

That was such rubbish that you shouldn't have published it, it's not worth the people's time spent reading it!<br /><br />But I take this opportunity to congratulate you for becoming a <font color="red"><b>cluster</b></font>

 

[shuttle_rtf]

It was a dilemma whether to give this idiot publicity, but there's a feedback section <img src="/images/icons/wink.gif" /><br /><br />Oh, I'm a cluster, what does that mean?

 

[lunatio_gordin]

*blinks* people can be that stupid and still have websites?

 

[lycan359]

<br /><font color="yellow">Oh, I'm a cluster, what does that mean?</font><br /><br />It means you have more posts then me. Alot more.

 

[shuttle_rtf]

Oh, as in those threads where people say "Woo hoo, I'm a Galaxy" <img src="/images/icons/crazy.gif" />

 

[shuttle_rtf]

I think he's American, the site is US based.<br /><br />I've noticed they've taken the "Contact us" page down...I hope that's from too many people complaining..so I encourage people to use the set form on the bottom of the story.

Head on a stick.<br /><br />I was thinking vlad the impaler style, or what hannibal lector did to that guard in silence of the lambs.<br />I hate those peole who are against somthing for no real reason. <br />I hate those semi literate, never check the facts, i'm don't know anything but this is what i'll say journalists who critise those hard working, intelligent, astronauts who've actually done something.

 

[shuttle_rtf]

I think you summed that up very nicely sir <img src="/images/icons/smile.gif" /><br /><br />"I want his head on a stick" originates from York (my city) around medieval times - where they displayed the heads of criminals on the gates of the city walls to warn visitors about being naughty.<br /><br />http://www.military-art.com/images/dhm094.jpg - That's King Charles II I think, he was a mad king <img src="/images/icons/smile.gif" /><br /><br />That picture is Micklegate (one of 15 all still standing that join up an 8 mile fortress wall you can walk around - surrounding the city) you can see York Minster Cathedral - world's largest Gothic Cathedral - three miles into the city, that I live next to.)<br /><br />There's a bit of history into this thread - which you'll get from time to time from someone who's from a 2000 year old city <img src="/images/icons/wink.gif" />

what can you expect from a guy named 'Lee R. Shelton IV'? <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p>http://asteroid-invasion.blogspot.com</p><p>http://www.solvengineer.com/asteroid-invasion.html </p><p> </p> </div>

 

[shuttle_rtf]

Heh! Was thinking just the same thing when I saw his name! <img src="/images/icons/smile.gif" />

 

[ozspace]

"...is He a aussie?"<br /><br />Oh dear, it seems so...sorry everyone. But it does seems he is contributing to a US site.

 

[shuttle_rtf]

Track him down and drive him to the outback <img src="/images/icons/smile.gif" />

 

[shuttle_rtf]

Buzz Aldrin of all people with the slapdown of the negative media.<br /><br />From a story we've done where he praises Discovery and notes the importance to move past LEO again.<br /><br /> />"There are always people who want to get attention for criticising what's going on," he pointed out. <br /><br />"There were people saying we were going to sink 50 feet into the dust of the moon when we tried to land."<<br /><br />God bless him!!<br />

speaking of quotes, time for my new one.

"I have heard of junior being used once (I think)."<br /><br />That's odd. It's the most common name in Texas. <br /> <br /><br /> <br /> <br /><br />

What's with his totally random remark about "why can't you see stars in pictures taken from space"? It has absolutely no relevance to the rest of his remarks. He seems to understand it's not a fake, so why make that interjection?<br /><br />The guy's just randomly miffed, I think. He doesn't even know what it is he doesn't like about the Shuttle. That's obvious. I've seen people dislike the Shuttle for good reasons. This guy isn't one of them. He seems to think that because Eileen Collins said something rather trite in reaction to what is, quite frankly, a horribly cliched question (and probably asked by a reporter, not that this guy would notice that), that means the whole thing is just a waste of taxpayer dollars perpetuated for the sole purpose of giving extreme environmentalists a way of lying about the environment to get their way.<br /><br />I don't mind rants against the Shuttle when the ranter has taken the time to actually find something out about it. I mean, good grief! He's just rambling on about nothing, sort of vaguely affronted by the notion of people flying in space on taxpayer money. I suspect this is the sort of person who thinks science is a stupid class to take, because it's all a waste of time. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p> </p><p><font color="#666699"><em>"People assume that time is a strict progression of cause to effect, but actually from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint it's more like a big ball of wibbly wobbly . . . timey wimey . . . stuff."</em>  -- The Tenth Doctor, "Blink"</font></p> </div>
