Sucessful takeoff

It is wonderful to see that the shuttle is finally up again -- I have to say having the camera on the main tank was an awesome view all the way through seperation.

With me being somewhere near the 180,000,000th man away from the white house, I doubt if security will be bad when I go buy gasoline. :joker: :right:

Hey Shaun, How would you like to fly that thing? I bet thats a rush you don't forget.

Shaun · 07-26-2005, 09:36 PM

I am too tall the pilot can't be more that 70" -- it would be a !!!! of a ride though

Thats height discrimination, where's the ACLU when you need them. Oh wait I'm not a criminal

That's only 5'10". Not tiny, but not large at all. I'm taller than that just by a hair.

I'm 5'10" tall from the bottom of my bare feet to the top of my bald head. :jaw: ...but what's the girth limitations?
