I was sad to see that ship gone today. And then I had to wait on the Hawthorne Bridge for some stupid Coast Guard dingy to cruise by - it was just wasn't the same as a giant ship (to say the least).

Are frat boys running NASA now? Ramming something into the moon was the best idea they could come up with? How's about a lil probe with a FUCKING DRILL taking core samples. Somehow I believe this missile is being tested for MANY other reasons.
