Mesmerizing, isn't it?

I had a friend that moved to Florida (West Palm Beach) back in the early 90's. He called me late in LA one night when because the Space Shuttle had just launched from the Cape. He was in awe and was SO pumped up at what he saw that we ended up talking for hours.

It's a pretty indescribable feeling to see this firsthand, as opposed to on the TV.

That's pretty darn cool.

But, are you sure that's what it was, Mr. DaneMcCloud?

I mean, are you certain it wasn't just Lindsay Lohan in a Beemer after jumping the curb?

Definitely. Makes you feel like a little kid again.

Anyone familiar with the rental car lots at LAX realizes that anyone there got a REALLY close look.

Dongertroll is awesome. I bet his internal dialouge went something like "I bet I can get Dane to all-caps type 'mother**** your mom' in ten posts or less".

Pretty interesting what the have done to try and keep the air somewhat clean on the vertical stabilizer of the 747.

That isn't an escort, per se. Once it landed at LAX, Endeavour's cargo bay was opened and 11,518 illegals were inside.

I do not understand why people get so excited over something like this.
