Damn near brought a tear to my eye

Boosting this quality contribution up in the Hot Listing - declared quality by ChaosEngine.

On my third viewing I actually did tear up a bit.

You're a little sorry now that you pinned that nerd up against his locker back in freshman year, aren't you. I know. Me too.

'Merica, fuck yeah!
But srsly... fuck yeah.

I love Mike Rowe, but I don't think he ever visited NASA for Dirty Jobs...
...I stand corrected - "NASA Crawler-transporter lubricator" (Season 3, Ep 5)

Come on NASA,

The shuttle and now the Orion spacecraft have been and are designed by congressmen and women for make work projects in their states.

The shuttle, although a marvel of engineering, was a death trap due to putting the most venerable structures down the stack.

ISS is a fantastic endeavour, but its low earth orbit and NASA has been struggling with a new direction for decades. The moon... no wait... asteroids... no wait... Mars... hold on... the moon.

Just PICK ONE, at least DOUBLE the funding to NASA and make whatever new project a national initiative. The American space industry can do unbelievable things when the proper foresight is put is place backed by money. (hay, maybe take some out of the military complex?!).

We will see if the Moon remains a target for NASA, maybe that will change when your current "leader" is removed... I am mean voted out of his "office".

If only there was a name for this force in space...
