| | Posted: | | | | After I finished the Worldwide Military Command & Control System computer at USAF SAC at Omaha, NE, I was offered a job in Libya to connect US radar to Russian missiles. I said no thx, they just kicked Henry A. Kissinger out of there. | | | We don't need stinkin' IMDB's errors, we make our own.

That's kind of the point: if you see them, they haven't done their job! Well, the SR-71 wasn't really intended for Stealth - it's job was to outrun every offensive means used against it. But then again, that speed would make it hard to see too!  |

| | Posted: | | | | A bittersweet day indeed watching Discovery come "home" to Dulles and the Smithsonian but she will be preserved forever. We can all see what the US can do. I hope that soon we will return to mannedspaceflight and exploration. | | | ASSUME NOTHING!!!!!!
