Anyone staying up to watch the flying brick land?

I was going to head over to Nasa and watch the live feed from a public tent they setup, but don't think I'll make it...

I hope everyone traveling on the incredible waste of money makes it home safely.

Really.

Possible delay due to weather at Kennedy.

Hey! I have an idea...Lets put the most important runway in existance in the least stable weather area in the country!!

These people need to stick to rocket science and just ask The Weather Channel where they should locate things.

morans.

I believe it's placed where it is because of it's distance from the equator, among other things I'm sure.

This is sad. They have a choice between California, Texas or Florida and these idiots choose Florida.

These are the dumbest smart people I have ever seen.
