Atlantis has touched down safely. Welcome back to the crew. A toast to the shuttle and it crews, and a mighty [censored] you to all the politics-playing flat earth [censored]bags that took the US out of the spaceflight business and now claim their victory. My you all fall into your gilded, fat-encrusted graves and die clutching you precious celebrity news.

I will laugh when Russia, India or China return to the moon and "accidentally" drive over the Apollo 11 site. I will chortle when nations that actually try to blaze a trail into the future rightfully decide to leave America's overweight, under-educated, stupid waste-of-space population behind. And when a killer asteroid or gamma-ray-burst strikes and people in the US screech, I'll cackle and say I [censored] called it.

But hey, at least we got a scant few billion to toss at the war on drugs or something.

Cool story, bro.

Pretty much agree that many of us are going to laugh when the other big name countries that are up and coming run over the American Flag on the moon. Heck who's to stop them from taking it down and returning to their country with it as a trophy prize. Whatever though the big wigs always know best and we should never question them.

Though on a brighter note atleast the space shuttle returned home safely.

I find that offensive and of entirely bad taste. Not to mention an incredibly ignorant, under-educated, stupid waste-of-space comment.

Also; not all of the future is in space.

We don't allow political discussion here.

We don't allow country bashing here.

And we don't allow flamebait here.

So far, this isn't working out well for the OP.
