Great missions STS-122 & Expedition 16

If that's your best born-again opinion, of only sharing in such
pathetic eye-candy as your infomercial spewed hype in order to justify
that horrific investment of ISS, and of those having to die on behalf
of sustaining that investment, and of otherwise excluding any real
honest to god science that might rock your terrestrial limited boat,
and somehow you're still a happy brown-nosed camper, then so be it.

As I'd said before, "why don't you just fork over each of those 18 MB
image files?"

Silly old me, whereas I always thought that such public funded
physics, of whatever R&D and of whatever's the best available science
obtained was of all such silly things PUBLIC!

Who besides us snookered and dumbfounded to death taxpayers, and of
all the rest of us public end-use consumers is footing the bill,
paying for absolutely everything (including yourself) over and over,
along with those full extended family benefits and of sustaining those
nifty retirements with full health benefits to boot?

Apparently I've been using up far more than my fair share of this
Google/NOVA Usenet bandwidth, as having recently posted all of one new
topic and replied to a couple of others has my account down to its
knees or getting locked down, along with the usual gauntlet of my
having been getting those pesky multiple errors while trying to post
replies, often receiving the final kill message of "Your account or
Internet address has exceeded our posting limit at this time, please
try again later." Perhaps this has a little something to do with my 7-
day activity of getting nearly 5000 views of my messages (nearly 700
per day) must be why I've been so often nailed or cut off. There's
also so many of those new and improved cookie spermware/****ware (aka
spyware) files that my PC and ISP connection into this Usenet as
gotten nearly terminal before I start.

My local ISP also keeps cutting my "unlimited internet access" off, so
that I'm having to reconnect dozens of times, as well as I also keep
getting those pesky Google/Usenet "Server not found" messages (I can't
be certain, but I'm thinking there's another class action lawsuit
somewhere in all of that mess).

Great mission so far, awesome launch, incredible space walks (great
views), and achieving a great accomplishment in space station assembly
by adding the Columbus module to the structure. It's great to see both
crews together, in the newly added Columbus module during today's
joint crew news conference, enjoying their work. But the best part
was just after ending the press conference both crews had a moment of
fun play time as they spun and flipped around each other, it's great
to see such a hardworking people having fun and laughing. Great
mission and looking forward to a beautiful landing, thanks to all the
work from the crews, and all of the people on the ground that are
making this a successful mission....
