There is a Falcon 9 launch scheduled for this morning, to the ISS from KCS Launch Complex 39A. There is a ton of space history associated with this site, including most of the moon landings, which hasn't been used since the very last Shuttle launch. Spacex will once again attempt a first stage landing, close to the launch site. Should be interesting, as always. You can watch it live here ~10:00am EST

SpaceX successfully launched and then retrieved its first recycled rocket Thursday, the biggest leap yet in its bid to drive down costs and speed up flights.

if only we could power a space craft with Mirth's angst, dispair and annoyance.....
Toonces - Don't ask me, I just close my eyes and take it.

Gus - I use sweatpants with flannel shorts to soak up my crotch sweat.

Banzai Cat - There is no "partial credit" in grammar. Like anal sex. It's either in, or it's not.

Mirth - We learned long ago that they key isn't to outrun Star, it's to outrun Gus.

Martok - I don't know if it's possible to have an "anti-boner"...but I now have one.

Gus - Celery is vile and has no reason to exist. Like underwear on Star.
