All these years I've thought the Space Shuttle was awesome....blasting off into "space".
Such a risky thing!
Or maybe not.
You see, the Space Shuttle "blasts off" and goes up roughly 100-1000 miles up into what is called low earth orbit.
A hundred miles or so...maybe a few hundred miles up. Whoop-dee-woo!
Big flippin' deal. I drive about 60 miles a day to work.
Earlier this year I flew to Texas which was probably 1800 miles or so.
Am I a "hero" like Space Shuttle "astronauts" who fly all of 100 miles up and then turn off engines and just glide around in a circle?
I don't turn my motor off and I drive on bumpy roads. A hero.
And I have gravity to deal with.

I've always wanted to see a space shuttle launch but it would be a lot cheaper and simpler to come to Boston and watch you drive to and from work...would that be okay? And does next week work for you?

I HATE CHEW!
I HATE CHEW TOO!
I HATE CHEW TOO, EH!
*beepbeepbeep*
"Take off, eh?"
This was funny, but I prefer the one from late December, 2007, about "New Year Resolutions....for you."
And don't hold your breath waiting for a "certain Canadian" to show.
"Am I a "hero" like Space Shuttle "astronauts"..."
I dunno. Do you wear a diaper on those long drives?
