On March 3, 1969 the United States Navy established an elite school for the top one percent of its pilots. Its purpose was to fix space junk...
So ever since the Pluto incident I've been a little shaken up to write about Astronomy, but today we have reason to celebrate as two Hollywood-American Institutions: NASA and The Navy's Top Gun Fighter Program connect on a rescue mission to save the Hubble.
Apparently, "saving" the Hubble consists of replacing some double AA's and giving it a wash at the expense of probably several hundred million, still cheaper than Brown Bear. Without "maintenance" the telescope will go into "meltdown", which will surely be seen as a terrorist attack by our government from NASA.
The best news of this story is Commander Scott "Scooter" Altman, 47, who will lead this group of Astronauts in 2008 to fix the Hubble prior to meltdown. You might reconize "Scooter" from his aerial stunts in The Only Movie that Ever Truly Mattered to the Lodge, where he became the unidentified star and greatest Naval recruiting tool since The Village People.
So I pose this future question to "Scooter" Altman following his groups rescue of the Hubble, "How's it feel to be on the front page of every newspaper in the english-speaking world, even though the other side denies the incident? Congratulations.

We can have a constant solution to our space problem. One word: ROBOTS. I say we orbit a small series of custodial robots to maintain the planets technological arrays. I'm sure someone out there has thought of this and its likely under development.
either Robots or Lt. Pete Mitchell clones...whatever comes first...and I'm partial to the latter...
Screw Pete Mitchell. It's all about Tom 'Iceman' Kazanski.
I wouldn't go with Maverick because every time he goes up in the air, he's unsafe. I don't like him because he's dangerous.
I smell a quote post!
I for one like the Astronomy posts....and for the record Trains post should have been a NoNo. 2.0 broke it up just becuase he likes to hear the sound of his own voice
Thirty seconds. We went like this, he went like that. I said to Hollywood, "Where'd he go?" Hollywood says, "Where'd who go?"
Does anyone know where I can find the plaque for the second-place finishers?...and I think I'm successfully off the Astronomy snide...thanks to "Scooter" Altman...
Dont forget on the Plaque there are two "O's" in Goose, boys
