Happy Birthday

Greetz everyone.
Wow, in looking through the news today there was very little "good" news to report. Actually, none on the major news sources. Well, in my usual drifting against the tide i'll share something a bit more "positive": the Space Shuttle program turned 25 today, with the the boldest, balls-iest, gutsiest test flight in history. To have gotten into that thing with it never having been test flown before (the first time a rocket hadn't been flown unmanned first), well, if there were ever 2 guys with a set of brass ones...

Anyway, something non-depressing to share. Interestingly enough, today is also the 45th anniversary of the first human space flight.
