As being a long time follower of the space program. That was the coolest thing I have seen in along time. OMFG! The Apollo missions are imho the greatest scientific / exploritory achievement the human race has accomplished to date.
@Shikome: I watched it 3 times now and I'm still kinda speechless.
As a kid, I used to keep newspaper clips about the space program and at one point I wrote to NASA for pictures, which they sent me, for free. I also followed with great interest the descent of SkyLab in 1979.
That is to say, I'm a total sucker for space-related stuff.
@Roklimber: Oh I love it all. The Crawler is my favorite Earth bound vehicle. There is a competition for tickets to the last shuttle launch, and I just don't have the heart to enter. Its just too sad.
@Roklimber: That is a beautiful picture. I remember seeing it the one time I was at the space port. It was so cool. I just wanted to run over and climb on it. But there were heavily armed men who looked like they would not approve.
@LittleDragon: You allowed yourself to be stopped by a mere group of armed men? Who are you and what did you do with the evil genius I've come to befriend and respect here?
@Roklimber: Even evil geniuses know to respect a squad of special forces. Especially when that EG is 18 and completely cut off from all resources, at the mercy of education facilitators.
@LittleDragon: Baloney! The LittleDragon I know would have thrown a couple of mini-blackholes towards those so-called facilitators and then she would have teleported the crawler away. :)
@Gearhead_42: They always toss a second shuttle onto the pad for trips to the Hubble. The ISS can't be used as a safehaven if something goes wrong because it's too far away, so a second shuttle has to be on standby in case of a need for a rescue mission.

Either way, apparently cripple will be fixed in some wicked crazy comic book style way. I'm going to go buy a cape to prepare...

I think about that a lot.
I also ate a lot of 'shrooms a while back and I'm thinking maybe that had something to with it.
