Can't come soon enough.

Aeka's placement fell through - she's too tiny, too skitty-kitty for the household with a big Rottie and a two-year-old. Three hours after leaving, they brought her back. Good thing she's the one with three interested parties - let's see if any of the others have a quieter household. She'll grow out of the skitty stuff - but she's the littlest of the bunch, and it shows.

Five minutes cuddling with Jim, and she was A-OK again.

I'm trying to remember my first impressions of the first shuttle flight. I remember being on the team to name the first one Enterprise - and that was back in my teen years. All those flights - all that time - and I remember when there was a General Dynamics in Pomona that worked on part of it. That's now a discount mall. Yup. Where there were engineers and progress, (and massive overbilling) there are now cheap schlocky crap made in China shops. Do you think things have changed that much that we can't support a space program anymore? YA THINK?

It's sad. But if they are done with the shuttles, I am not surprised. Columbia belonged in a museum.

Certainly longer than the Apollo missions. Longer than the Saturn V rockets.

So ready for the next thing. Only issue? It mostly likely won't be a public project, or even American.

We did it well, though. Did, that is.

*sigh*
