    It's a shame to the Americans. The Russians send a ship up practically every day and the Americans try to send one up and it's scattered all over their country. I have to admit, though, it was quite entertaining watching the Columbia fireworks (just like most of you enjoyed watching the fireworks over Baghdad on CNN).
