They'll Never Make It to Dedaelus

I should probably say something about the Columbus disaster.

Man. That sucks.

Of course, it was NASA's oldest space shuttle, and all those certified rocket-scientists shrugged off the big chunk that broke from the vessel shortly after the launch, but it is still a tragedy. And to think, they invested a good 90 mil into renovating the ol' starship last year. Where did the money go? Fixin' up the shit-hatch??

Hey, does anyone remember that movie "Space Camp?" All I remember about it is that 3-wheeled robot named Jinx that befriended the main kid(a young, annoying Joaqin Phoneix). The robot looked like a space-age trashcan rolling around, and it's voice sounded like some guy inhaled a bunch of helium and did a crappy ET impression, but man, if only the astronauts on Columbus had had a witty little droid to bond with. Perhaps then they could've...no, I guess they still would've exploded, and then people would be finding pieces of Jinx scattered across the southern states. "Yooooooo Maaaaaaax. Jinx is deeeeeaaaad."

Yeah, well, anyway... My condolences...to the families...yeah.
