Shuttle Endeavour Blasts Off For Space Station

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the nearing-the-end dept.

Gwmaw writes "The space shuttle Endeavour bolted off its seaside launch pad on Monday on a voyage to install the last two main pieces of the International Space Station. The 4:14 a.m. EST (0914 GMT) blastoff from the Kennedy Space Center shattered the predawn tranquility with a deafening roar and a brilliant tower of flames that momentarily turned the dark Florida sky as bright as day." HD video of launch attached.

    Wow, I've never seen a post that referred to Germany as a "proper civilized government" and then referred to the Nazis two sentences later. That should get you some kind of /. award. That goes beyond a mere Godwin Rule situation into some kind of super-Godwin rule (maybe meta-Godwin). It could well tear a hole in space-time.
