More News From Space & Cowboys


The space shuttle will land on Wednesday, not Tuesday as reported yesterday. You can read about it at Space.com. The actual time of the satellite shooting is vague. How about High Noon? Yes! YES! And paint the name Gary Cooper on the missile! Nahh! Rocket Scientists don't have much sense of humor. Best I can tell the attempt will be made on Thursday. They will have a second chance if the attempt fails. There is a very toxic fuel onboard and it really doesn't need to crash in a populated area. Then there's the flying debris which will be like a huge mortar round from outer space.

Did you know that High Noon is rated as the best western ever made by some folks? It's worth watching just to see Grace Kelly. Wow! Was she a looker or what? Not to take anything away from Gary Cooper, but there's no John Wayne! My money on best western has to include the Duke! Any opinions?
