Al Worden relates this joke on Wally in his new book: "Falling to Earth". This was in the 1990's. Wally and 3 astronauts travelled to a charity event out of town... The 3 astronaut buddies set this up with the hotel manager... in Wally's room. The 3 astronauts hid in Wally's bathroom.. The hotel manager and his sexretary got in the bed under the covers and hugged. The bellman took Wally to his room, opened the door and popped on the lights !! The girl in the bed sits up and screams !!! ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!! real loud !!! The guy in bed sits up and says "Oh my God !!!!! Then he says.. " say.. aren't you Wally Schirra !!! Can I have your autograph please ????" Then the 3 buddies popped out of the bathroom laughing....... GOTCHA WALLY !!!!!!!! Wally was the king of Gotcha's !! Whenever he was asked for a urine sample he would bring back a gallon jug of water and iodine mix and say.. "here's your damn urine sample !!! "

I know Airline pilots and I wanted to do that job but the old vision test, you know. Many airline guys fly 75 hours a month and their pay, benefits, and retirement is pretty darn good. And don't tell me they are Gods, my Grandmother could go to school and learn to fly jets !! Pilot Protestors: what is your major problem ? Come out here and write computer software everyday ! A lot of you couldn't begin to do that. and PS I have my commercial ticket, too.

Obama hates space flight. Libs for decades have wanted the money for welfare. I know what he says publicly, but he is a liar. He has let his real thoughts slip out a few times. He can't shut down Nasa and lock the doors but he can and does divert the money to 'make do' work in research and education. News flash: If we had never gone to the moon yet, we couldn't do it now. As things stand now, we could only do it with extreme difficulty. We need to do it to preserve the knowledge base for the future.

Oh you cynics !!!! Come on, this is the annointed one doing this !!!!!

With the solar company scandal, the gun running to Mexico, and the memo to the Census workers that said: Stop sleeping on the job !!! I just don't feel like paying more to those dopes up there !

Sad and tragic. Don't they teach pilots how to handle this issue ? Land straight ahead or in the best area you can... no 180's !

Shah, didn't I warn you about.... oh... forget it. Next time don't get married without a contract !

You could do another tandem.

That video is really great, turn sound all the way UP !!!! The fallout from this crash will be telling... a great nation with great people does great things. We used to fly to the moon. What will happen after this ?

Not really... see: When Harry Met Sally !

Ask him when you can go in airplanes also, both airliners and 'your buddies' light plane.

Well Buffett can write a fat check to IRS as often as he wants. Oh, does he want more money for the solar cheater companies ? Oh.. well thats different then.

I have thought the same for a long long time. Tandem to S/L to AFF is a path for some students. If my daughter wanted to do more than her tandem jump, I would recommend such a path even if it required spending a week at a Cessna DZ in another state. AFF students often hit the wall when they are supposed to do some turns, etc when they are in great fear of flipping onto their back or whatever. It reminds me of TI's doing spins in freefall even though the tandem student just wants to survive this jump. These students often get very sick.

There are always some ( many ) people who hate folks who excel, are daring, stand out, and are exceptional ( as in your choice of sports ).

You mean the drones that are used also to zing a missle down onto a known bad guy ?? Great. I am all for that. The more the better.

Pay more so BO can set up more green jobs that might cost 500k each or more ?? oh.. sure. okay.

Don't give them any new bad ideas...

Yep ! And also you could also be killed in some senseless car wreck !!

Well, Rush tried to help Hillary !!! Operation Chaos !!! ( we only met under the Cone of SILENCE, too !!!! ) Maxwell Smart

He is a spoiled brat, a narcissist, who was never told 'NO' in his entire life. He has no clue what a regular person has to deal with every day.

Social justice = bailing out irresponsible lazy people, no thank you.

yes, these columbian drug guys kidnapped me, tied me up, showed me a huge knife, and said: you are gonna die slow ( I already knew that ). finally they said, we're gonna take you up in our plane and throw you out, I laughed to myself and thought, hey, that's not too bad !!! I woke up laughing at the good deal I had.

Have we ever slipped as a nation...!!!... Profoundly sad indeed. Sadly very true.

Sounds like it has about the same lift capacity as a Saturn V as well. Its slighly smaller, but other that that whats the advantage over the Saturn V? Well, there is no Saturn V. This is actually funny ( I follow Nasa news ). This is an Ares V ( which evil Bush and Mike Griffin planned. ) Everyone said that wouldnt work, junk. So here it is with a new name and it is great. I like it, I just want us to fly. And yesterday ATK in Utah said they would make Ares 1, I mean Liberty, the new name!!!!! And we have the Orion spacecraft, I mean the new whatever name it has now !!!! It is all very funny except that there is no mission for them, except space station. Maybe that will change.

Just like the movie.. The Four Seasons.. Alan Alda, Carol Burnett et. al. She will swoon at every word you utter as you are so worldly and know everything.
