HOME PAGE: No matter what your political views might be... One thing is for certain. In these days of fast news and even faster life styles... We all seem to have forgotten those moments in history that so abruptly and tragically changed this beloved Country of ours... 9/11… How soon we forget…

NASA RETURNS TO FLIGHT Space Shuttle Discovery launches from pad 39B at Kennedy Space Center, Fla. Image credit: NASA/KSC Today begins America’s new journey to theMoon… Mars… and beyond… Good read and launch video at: NASA.gov.
Everytime I see a launch I thin back to when I was in high school and watched that first Mercury launch. I continue to be amazed that all those millions of parts, fabricated and assembled by the low-bidders, work the way they're supposed to! Geez, we've come a long way!
And to think... We didn’t even know what a home computer or a good pocket calculator was yet either. Luke, I’m almost 52 years old and the kid in me still loves to watch those things take off... I also think it's so... AMERICAN!!! Thanks for stopping by... AubreyJ.........
We can thank Congress for those bell bottoms... Hell-- half of them are still fighting over the Vietnam War, over and over and over again… The space program doesn’t have a chance with the mind set of most of those folks up on the Hill. Many of them have forgotten how we got all these High-Tech toys we now have and where they came from too. All this Technology we have today didn’t come from China now did it??? Nope… All this high Tech stuff came from the fruits of the good old USA… Complements of NASA Research for the United States Space Program. Can you just imagine all of the things we wouldn’t have today if it wasn’t for NASA????
