Aussie to be blasted from Texas again

[daedong]

Not a bad effort for a boy from the bush

Well, we keep blasting him, but he keeps coming back. Going to have to naturalize him soon. /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif

I am glad to see words about anyone that is enthusiastic about the space program. I was working on the Space Station when I retired from NASA.

Vin, you can't keep a good Aussie down, can you??

250 years ago we were shipping you out of the U.K. in prison ships and you came back to whip us at rugby, cricket and tennis and just about every other sport. .... except curling and marbles. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif Now, we've gone high tech and are trying to fire you into space in rockets and still you come back. Typical Aussie, can't take a hint!!!! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Ofcourse, you know why he had to come to the States to join a space program .... The Aussies couldn't train a kangaroo to jump high enough. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

What is Woomera being used for these days?????

Not bad, not bad at all.

Vin, he's doing a very dangerous job. It's nice of the Aussies to volunteer to be shot up into space. /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif

Actually he will be blasted from Cape Canaveral at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida.

This is true. As long as we are working on accurate wording, (and this isn't meant to be a joke or a criticism of the original poster) let's pray that these brave, dedicated public servants get launched, not blasted. The hard working people of NASA have been through a difficult time.

Here, here!! And regardless of what one thinks of the war and how it's being handled, hats off to both the mother country and to our Aussie cousins for their willingness to stand by our side in the fight against terrorism. We share a common heritage. Here's to our friends in the world. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif
