hemipwr54 WOW you really are a willfully ignorant, raging lunatic. You had about 6 posts last night explaining to you what NASA has made possible in your life that you take for granted every day, and you still chose to ignore it. It's people like you that make this world so terrible...are you AFRAID of working that pea between your ears??!?!
