As we mourn the untimely and unfortunate Bird-flambé ala Space Shuttle Discovery (STS-114), let's also recall the more positive Bird-moments at NASA Kennedy Space Center, Florda, USA...
The defense department announced "Success!" today. They have found a proper use for the aging shuttle fleet. The US is proud to employ the world's first anti-bird missile defense system.
From www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/shuttle/behindscenes/avian_radar.html "
But one particular type of bird is causing concern: vultures. Bird hits Discovery's external tank during 2005 launch. That's why NASA plans to test special radar to track any vultures around Launch Pad 39B during the countdown to liftoff of Space Shuttle Discovery on mission STS-121."
With our track record of blowing up space shuttles its no wonder.
Wow, I didn't realize being a whiny little anti-MrBabyMan bitch was part of the new algorithm for getting your stuff promoted to the front page...
Oh, yeah. Looks like that still isn't working.
Hope it at least had a chance to drop a load on the windshield before it bit the big one. You know what the last thing was that went through that poor birds mind? Its asshole! Bet it aint got the guts to do that again, etc, etc
