Have a great weekend folks, what’s left of it.
Space Shuttle Discovery landed today, ending her final space mission and making her the most traveled human transport in history.
39 missions – 148,221,675 miles. SALUTE!

Space shuttle Discovery lifts off from Pad 39A at the Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Fla., Thursday, Feb. 24, 2011. The crew of six astronauts are on an 11-day mission to the international space station. / Wilfredo Lee / Associated Press
What a great program with so many achievements. Sad to see it end. I’ve followed it from the very beginning. When I grew up in Houston, I’d pretend to be doing reports for school and write or call NASA for pictures and whatever they would send on Apollo and the Shuttle and space flight in general. Wish I still had those old photos and artist renditions of the shuttle and various spacecraft they sent me.
Let’s all drink a toast to Discovery and the fine folks of NASA.
Most of us out here still love you guys.
Cheers!

Not to be left out of the UFO controversy, here’s video of the El Paso UFO’s from 10/18.
CBS posted this video of a similar triangle pattern from New York on 10/13/10. They disabled the embedding so, here is a news story that shows some shorter length footage.
What do you think? Balloons? Aliens? Distraction? War of the Worlds?
Isn’t there a new space invaders movie coming out in a few weeks?
Color me skeptical.
UPDATE: UFO mystery solved? Maybe for New York, but what about El Paso? And how to explain the recurring triangle pattern? Three points are by definition, a triangle. Is it mere coincidence that the pattern repeats in El Paso?
Maybe Mythbusters should call in Obama for another episode.
Blogging friends send the nicest emails.
Take this one for example. Carol of No Sheeples Here, sent in a cartoon I’m sure she thought was funny.
Hardee-har-har-haarrr, Carol.
I refuse to laugh at this. No matter how hilariously funny it is funny you think it is.
No matter how distraught the woman looks at being deprived of her Robo-Love.
W H A T ! ?
If I were she, I’d be on the phone to the repair shop post haste. No time to waste!
And doesn’t the poor robot in this portrait have that “deer in the headlights” look? Like, “This has never happened before. I promise.”
Is there Viagra in C3P0’s future? Only George Lucas, Isaac Asimov or Phillip K. Dick know for sure.
NASA surely doesn’t. It’s got sand in it’s gears at the moment.

Does bring to mind some old James Brown though…
I just caught an article on The Daily Telegraph proposing that very theory. The Voyager II was sent out 33 years ago. It contained a data disk loaded with enough information on the Earth and we humans for future alien life forms to easily come here and overtake the planet. Now, it seems as though someone or something has reprogrammed the output of V’ger because the signals from the probe that the scientists are receiving don’t make sense anymore.
Someone better call Jodie Foster! We need the top decryption analysts on this right away. And we need the primer.
OK, I realize I’m mixing movies here but, I volunteer to mate with the new life form that Voyager has become, but only if she looks like that bald chick in the first Star Trek movie, or Daisy Fuentes.
Even a robot has a cull factor.
My first question when I saw this news was to wonder aloud what the Obama regime is doing to prevent the obvious threat from alien life that this could pose? Then I thought, nah. They aren’t doing anything along those lines. They’re probably busy drafting new entitlement language into the Amnesty Bill to ensure the aliens vote Democrat.
This is not good news.
Just think, we sent a gold plated LP disc into space with the probe. We probably pissed them off when they realized they left their record player in the other spaceship and had to go get it. Then they start playing the thing only to hear then President Carter! How wussified they must think we are.
Also, I’m just questioning here, what kind of timing is it that we are again beset with the worst President since Carter? Coincidence? I think not. It may be that Carter was an alien life form and that Obama is as well. They are just using the occasion of Obama’s Presidency to now hatch the second phase of their evil plan, which sadly for yours truly, will probably not involve Salma Hayek or Daisy Fuentes.
