NASA marks anniversary of -- huh? Are they SERIOUS?!

See nasawatch.com for Friday's ISS On-Orbit Status Report,
which celebrates the anniversary of a very unusual event --
what's going on there?

I guess they're just happy it was the LAST one -- that may
well be worth celebrating, after all.... I guess.

They should have shot it toward London just for old time's sake.

NASA clearly believes the fact that von Braun worked for NASA far outweighs
the fact of his previous career helping Hitler fight an illegal war.

We still have the craters from two of the beasts where I live (Cranham,
Essex, UK), one is mostly hidden in undergrowth not half a mile from my home
and the other is now a pond in part of a golf course (the original crater
was 41 ft diameter and 14 ft deep!).

And in that they are correct.

This would have been the last one *tested*. The attacks on
London began in September 1944 and continued through
the end of March 1945.

Either way, an odd anniversary to mention in a NASA statement.
