    Music to our ears. It's a disgrace imo, this nation depends on Soyuz to get into space, a real embarrassment Obuma wasn't prepared to deal with.

    If anyone's going to get our nation back to manned space flight, it should be this Admin; as well as place our Triad back on top, with new toys. So far the B=21 is on track, slowly beginning to ramp up, with another large hangar under construction at Plant 42, for the 'Raider'.

    If we're going to lead, imo, we need a cheaper alternative to a reusable space vehicle... With China coming along in their space programs, Japan, Israel next in line? its imperative now more than ever for the USA to have quick safe access to manned space flight....

    Just toured the Smithsonian air and space museum.

    Friendship 7 capsule gave me goosebumps. So did Gemini 4. And the V2....lunar lander, etc.

    I will walk several miles in your shoes, any day, now beam me up Scotty....! please, hurry....luck you.

    I'd love to see the SA&SM, Udvar-Hazy ctr also, one last time.... a few other places as well...

    My Bucket List:
    • Seats and Lodging for a complete Yanx Home-stand, as long as possible
    • used to want to do a Old Timer's ST, too old for that now.
    • and a 8 city or more MLB game tour, before such chartering was created
    • 1 week stay. to see the Smithsonian, and SASM..
    • 1 week stay to see all of Cooperstown, HOF several times over...
    • 2-4 week stay in the middle of Alaska, Salmon Fishing...
    • 1 week stay in Canton, NFL HOF.
    • Fly a few Spirit or Raider sorties....Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran, Syria, Crimea, E. Ukraine, N. Korea,
    • James Bond mission inside an Iranian Nuke Enrichment plant, or full blow reactor...

    Tote-
    Did you see the 1909 Wright Bros Military model???

    One plane I've long been fascinated with since I saw it first in Lawrence KS in 1964, is the Ford Tri-Motor 4-AT-E "Corrugated Alum" - "Tin Lizzie"

    Check out this website, and more importantly look at all 6 of the Panavision pics; at the page bottom, for close ups of the corrugated materials...NOTE- you can flip these pics, ala panamoric vision...
