Think NASCAR is loud? Try working inches below an F-15's F-100 engine in 5th stage afterburner, attempting to use a tool to tweak the fuel control and "trim" the engine. You vibrate so hard you can't tell if you're breathing and can feel your teeth moving in your jaw. Now that's LOUD....

If the vice-president IS there, stay clear of him. He might have a gun.

You mean to tell me the vice-moron is coming out of his undisclosed secure location? WOW! Whoop-de-do! Probably puts the STS in the same class of activity as 40,000 screaming sadists waiting for a 200 mph pile-up.

The piece from England is truly a breath of fresh air. The logic and self-evident truth is there!
Probably get the writer crucified for real in this harborage for the terminally superstitious!

I will do the usual sacrifice to Murphy for success on this launch. Have a good trip!

If you see [Cheney] down there at Kennedy space Station remind him to give Nasa's James Hansen a ring to see if he's interested in a photo op with the V.P.
Maybe Mr Hansen could even pull a few strings that would allow the V.P. out on the launch pad to light the fuse.
