Anyone who reads my outer-space-related comments knows I dis NASA on a regular basis.Let me therefor put in total caps for a total stroke:NASA RULES TODAY!!This is a great achievement, not just for NASA, but for human space exploration and research. Kudos to the Nipponese for their attempt to do the same, but NASA brought the bacon home!One hopes this will be only the first of a series of turn-arounds, and NASA will once again be in the running as a manned -spaceflight organization.

NASA did a good job with their website. Lots of images, videos and even a podcast!

Is it just me, or does this sound like the beginning of a very bad Sci-Fi film?
