Hi:

  ......The "shuttle" ship Atlantis is out to launch this coming Friday 
  6-8-2007at about 7:30 P.M. (U.S. Eastern)/4:30 P.M. (Pacific) on a trip to 
  continue finishing the international space station (ISS).    Many on the U.S. 
  East Coast ought to be able to get a glimpse of the takeoff since it's 
  scheduled to happen around sunset....  

          Unfortunately,  but as should be expected,  the three remaining 
          shuttles (sic) are wearing out.  There is a serious concern about the 
          pressure tanks associated with the engines.  It would not be a good 
          thing if these tanks ruptured.  Replacements aren't possible right now
          because the company that makes them is out of business.   More 
          details at the link:

            I hope the launch goes off okay.  Prayers would not be inappropriate
            for those who believe in such things ....

            I just changed my streaming Surf City Sounds Plus to include a space
            travel theme, with audio tracks including the usual suspects such 
            as the "2001",Jefferson Airplane/Starship, Moon songs by crooners 
            like Frank Sinatra, etc. I  also tossed in some demented novelty 
            space oldies, plus the '30's radio classic "War Of The Worlds" by 
            Orson Welles.   As always, I'll be adding more as time goes 
            on....Are your phasers on stun?  :)!  Stay tuned!   Best Regards!  
            JBK          
             


Yes, you can turn me me on!  I'm on the radio!
