Something is outta whack with my computer, I can't get it to work or get on the original site. I'll try it from another computer a bit later.



Nope, not your computer. Doesn't work on home 'puter either. I'll check with the JSC guys that put this out...see if there is a work a round.

Astronaut Joe Engle was another fine pilot and astronaut........... he was bumped off of Apollo 17 by geologist Harrison Jack Schmitt. Probably a good move.. but kind of disappointing for Joe.[:/]

Yeah. My dad, Col. William J. Quinn USAF Ret. was one of the first investigators on site. Not pretty on the ground either. [:/]

Than never to have loved at all.

The XB-70/F-104 crash was tragic. It was the end of the XB-70 Valkyrie (it probably wasn't going to be built anyway), probably the most amazing plane (as cool or cooler than the SR-71) ever flown.

He wasn't bumped "by" Jack, just they thought a geologist versus a pilot was a better fit. JOE's balls drag the ground compared to Jack.B|
