    If it's anything like the Challenger, the flight should be drastically shorter.

    Goddamn I'm so fed up with the moral relativism spouted by the flaming liberals! Saying that "there is no evil" over and over again does not make it true.

    There really are evil people and evil nations on this earth. You have to be blind or in denial to believe otherwise!
