How stupidendesly (new word for NASA) we are living in stone age 40 years after we landed on the moon that stinking clouds holding a freaking launch for the 3546th time in shuttle history. This is not serious, this is extremely funny. I mean knowing and seeing those guys getting ready all day, counting down seriously knowing that nothing's gonna happen. And what's up with the dumbest thing of holding count down at 9 minutes for freaking 45 minutes? Is this a joke? If you are going to hold 45 minutes at 9 minutes, it's not 9 minutes it's 54 minutes countdown.. Are we all stupid or just dumb a** people going for NASA's crap last 40 years?
Sick of it!!! NASA simply SUCKS after Kennedy. ISS is a joke too, and everyone knows about it. They learned to drink pee water, good f***g deal!

| Ya know...if my ass was strapped to all that fuel, I'd want every single conceivable factor to be in my favor before launch. |

Just food for thought. Those of us who live in the immediate are can testify that they haven't scrubbed because of "a little cloud" the last two times. We have had quite severe thunderstorms in the area with a lot of lightning. Would you like to be struck by lightning with 80tons of explosives strapped to your ass? :D

Newsflash everyone... Apollo 12 struck by lightning twice during takeoff with that kind of technology and they made it to the moon.
40 years... fourthy whole years if we are still sitting on top of "all that fuel" and wait in freaking Florida weather, everyone knows thunderstorms happen every other 45 minutes... why? What happened to lets do it mentality, and improvements over the years that we should be handling a cloud or two during emergency landings which NEVER happened before.
The Challenger blew up in a perfect weather condition people. We lost Columbia in a GOOD weather with no clouds. There is no incident whatsoever due to clouds building up or lightning. It's all about stupid tiles and the dumbest thing HUGE tank having "crack"!!!.
Our plumber had a big crack; thank god he never blew up during our sink repair (I had to say this for no reason)

No, not drinking at all. I am genuinely angry to NASA and how they work since many years now. It is a joke big time, and we all made believe they are doing something very incredible. I rather NOT go anywhere until we find something better than getting ridiculous each time you put something up there. It's like thousands of clowns working in a big circus... and we watch them like they are freaking doing something to interests us. I used to believe in space program, but now I am pretty sure, it's a freaking joke all together. They either playing stupid games with us, or really stupid as they look.
And nothing to do with my drinking habit. To those believe in space program creates new inventions... I really could live without a sneaker makes me jump 1 inch higher to dunk.
Screw it...

Damn straight, Leo! And Apollo 13 made it home with a big hole in the side and was held together with duct tape. NASA needs to return to the good ol' days of seat-of-your-pants space flight!

Sitting and waiting on a launch pad in a nice weather. Launch scheduled at 6:30pm. I checked the weather, and 40% of thunderstorms rolling that time.
At the last 9(!!!!) minutes and 2700 seconds(!!!!) there will be A lightning at 19 nautical miles away to stop the whole thing again.
Hey NASA... good old pal.. stop making fun of yourself and find yourself A-Different location B-Different launch window... it'a a FREAKING SPACE, there are no trains rushing to your way, you can maneuver anywhere in there. Be late for a day or two to rendezvous, who cares... just send the damn thing up.
How much a day to fill and empty the tanks again? WHAT? I can't hear you jack a**es. and you complain about the budget?
SHEEESH!

Weather conditions were far from perfect. It was in the 30's temp wise at launch time and the O rings were known to fail below 53 degrees. It should have never launched that day! Engineers that day told NASA not to launch but because they had delayed launch multiple times already they launched and we all know what happened.
Understandably, today they are a little more careful. |

(I am sorry about my spelling and grammar errors. I try my best. I take the risk and I go for it. Unlike NASA I know today)
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
 LoudDog, It's called "stupidity".
-400F fuel next to everything, they are going to a place temperatures in the shadow is -250F... and they were designing something only good up to 53F ?!!?!
Now, I don't know about you but I called that "not too smart". Even though things are happening like this, and they fix it, is not excuse for them to crawl like this (slow improvement). Those guys are smarter than everyone (supposed to be) and improve things. I see no improvements after we landed on the moon... as a matter of fact, besides NASA researches invent "better rubbers" for household, nothing else is done.
Watch them right now (//www.nasa.gov/multimedia/nasatv/index.html). When you see those guys working up on the tower, talking to each other and all that "major crap" going on, they do nothing. They'll turn everything off and go back home at the end of the day so they can try again next time(!!!).
Here is what I would do if I would responsible from NASA... There would be 50 people dead by now probably but we would be walking on Mars... and those 50 people would be heroes, not "lost for nothing" as everyone else thinks they would. We would name streets and schools after those 50 people... we would be honoring them every year... but we would WALK ON THE MARS by now.
Now, you ask "would you let your son or daughter goes to that kind of environment, under command of a guy like yourself?" Yes I would. I would go myself, and I know thousands of people would go to improve our space future, without a question, knowing the risks.
We invented car seatbelts after thousands of people died between metals, horribly... and accidents still happening. Well "we all have to go to our work; we have to go to the grocery stores... so we have to drive... Driving is not like going to space"... My A**s, and sick of that one too. I would like to see ALL of those people thinking like this, who are VERY careful about doing everything, when we hear a big rock about to hit the Earth... I want to see those people when time comes to run, and ask them "Dude, I know you want to go up there with this shuttle and save yourself from destruction of the world, but there is 50-50 chance this vehicle will not make it through atmosphere" and see what they will say..."Screw it, I'll take my chances"
You laugh now. What I say here is true. We are crawling like babies that used to walk. It's stupid, and it's pointless. There is tons of things are already done after 1969 that will protect astronauts from a disaster... and tons more to improve... but are you going to wait? How long... because there won't be 100% guarantee any year any century that you go to space and survive... during lift off or landing, or stay...
I am not saying go crazy and take risks just like that, but there should be a bit more wide range of risk taking. The future of human kind might be just slipping away from our hands without knowing.
PS: If something goes wrong today, and they all die... I would ask "would it be the same if they did go yesterday, or before that?" No one could be answering that, but cancel the space program for 5 more years (or 10). |

Everyone who is anyone knows that the moon landings were faked anyway.
Seriously though, this is one of the best rants I've had the pleasure of following. It's just so random and fun. |

If you listen now, you will hear something like this "We're holding at t- 20 minutes. We are going to hold t- 9 minutes for 45 minutes to wait for the cloud cover and lightnings to cancel todays Shuttle lift off"
Just go now, why wait? Everyone allready said "Go", which part of "Go" you don't understand NASA? it means "Ready... now.... ignition, paddle-to-the-metal"
Hatreeeeeed!!!!

Hey NASA.. here is what I think about your launches...

Everyone at the Kennedy Space Center looking at each other with shock and disbelieve!!!
"Oh my... I think we're gonna make it"
They all started to read the rest of the F***g manual. They seem like forgot what's after ignition.
Dumb A**es :(
