I always thought I'd live long enough to see a manned Mars mission. I guess not. Looks like it will be a long while before we can do any of that.

Going to need the Shuttle replacement before we head for Mars.
Hell we don't even have a delivery method for our boys for five years after the Shuttles get sent to the bone yard. Going to be paying the Russians to ferry us.

Yuri, of course. Rack crossword puzzles--I do the NY Times puzzle that is in the Fort Myers News Press. Fridays and Saturdays can be real "bears". Sunday is usually just a big one with a theme. Of course the only way to roll is with ball point pen on newsprint !
