The "sound" of HUMANS:

As Endeavor came "home" we were privy to the double boom of th' thing slowing to sub-sound. What an amazing thing human imagination is. Galileo would be pleased.

Yes, Doc, I think he would be absolutely thrilled. I'd love to live long enough to see the first Mars mission, what a milestone for exploration!

I happen to like the unmanned probes, <span style="text-decoration: underline">lots</span> cheaper, practically the same info gathered.

Maestro Galileo would possibly be more thrilled that they don't draw and quarter astronomers anymore (they just cut their <span style="font-style: italic">budgets</span> off!) :eeek:

He was "in on the ground floor". :wink:

...yet another example that ya never wanna be the FIRST at something. Once it's a proven "trend" all ya gotta do is out market the Other Guys. :jester:


We were out in th' front yard, hoping to glimpse the thing comin' in. Bit too low a trajectory for us to see, too many big trees. But the boom-BOOM was dramatic. It "broke wind" south of us by about 150 miles. A neighbor ran out of her front door and excitedly asked: "What was THAT?!?!" I told her it was the shuttle coming in for landing, she said it rattled her house like it was a bomb goin' off... wasn't aware of the shuttle mission at all. Now THAT's scary.
