That's amazing imagery...very cool! Kind of makes me hopeful for the prospect of human progress...almost.

[Bub666]

The 60's lied!they said we would all have flying cars,tin foil suits & robots that do all the housework by now Tricky is right about the flying cars and robot servants: Along those lines, remember all the talk in the late '80s & early '90s about "paperless offices" dominated by digital media? What the hell happened to that? And the metric system? In the 1970's I remember we were told in school that the metric system would be the standard in a few years. Although practically all of the rest of the world is measuring things in meters and kilometers, we in the United States are still using inches and feet! EDIT: Apologies to the OP since my rant has nothing at all to do with the very awesome photo of the shuttles on their respective launch pads. Though I wonder if NASA still uses inches and miles in their calculations.

I wonder if there's gold under that rainbow.... I'd settle for a bowl of lucky charms.
