Couldn't agree more about Rex! Pissed me off right from the get-go when he happily announces that a colleague's wife was just diagnosed with leukemia, which my father and brother both died from.

Agreed. I'm watching BSG all the way through for the first time, and I'm stuck in the middle of Season 3.

So glad to see another Dueser around here!

Yeah, I had to put it on Mute after a couple of minutes.

Great gallery, but, ummm, that second image (of STS-1 on the pad) is backwards.

Wait, a tick... when did we see the Moonrakers carried by the Antonov 225?

Yeah, you could pay me $30M, but I'd never ride a damned capsule!

Excellent work! My all-time favorite IMAX film is The Dream is Alive, so this really hit the spot!

Usually, I'm glued to NASA-TV from the start of tanking, through crew ingress, comm checks, hatch closure & White Room close-out. But this time all I kept hearing was that weather was "still at 30% favorable conditions and trending in the wrong direction." So, I figured I'll just go through my usual ritual tomorrow…

Oh, I wouldn't mind at all if they plugged the gap in her teeth. I always think of David Letterman when she opens her mouth.

Actually, I thought she sounded exactly like Sarah Michelle Gellar.

I watched the UFO DVDs last year, and was so floored by how much better I liked it than I did when I was 7! Episodes that bored the hell out of me back then because they were "too talky" ("A Question of Priorities", "Confetti Check A-O.K.", etc) are now my favorites.

Here's another modeling site I really like...

So, being able to deliver, construct, repair and return hardware to and from orbit has no place in the human conquest of Space?

Define "meaningful".

Well, the "Space Age" never really got started! This whole thing about only having one type of human-rated spacecraft operating at a time is a lot like only allowing sedans on the roads one year, then only trucks the year after that, then...

@Harry Bastard: Whuh? The Rocketeer was created by Dave Stevens (1955-2008), which is why the film is dedicated to him.

Yeah, and those hovering robots in Battle: Los Angeles reminded me of this...
