Grounded

Oh golly. It may make me a luddite, but I'm beginning to think we should just stay on the ground.

I'm happy about the plans for a new shuttle design, though. I have my doubts about whether a crew escape hatch that takes you right to the front of a plummeting missile is such a bright idea, but other than that, I say hooray for resurrecting old ideas! But does the new design remind anyone of something else? Besides that. That's right, the Bomb Pop! I have not at all fond memories of turning into a sugary patriotic mess after attempting to eat one of those suckers at Disney World when I was ten. Ah, the good old days.
