Oh, but how much more impressive must the creator of that nebula be!

Congrats, Min. This is the first thread you've done (that I've seen) that wasn't fangs-out. Well done.

The only impressive thing about the God concept, is that a bunch of crazy people all over the world can believe in it despite a total absence of even possible evidence, because they've literally defined it so there can't be any.

Meanwhile, here we are looking at photographic evidence of something clearly real and beautiful.

Kinda poignant for me.  Some of the subsequent refurb shuttle flights went up with paper work (them were the days!) in the files that had gone over my desk.

How about that rudder speed brake ?

Now there's some advanced technology !!

I inadvertently triggered a launch constraint ONCE. Led to a memorable moment for me of approaching my pointy haired boss at the time advising him we (the company) might be on the news soon. I'll never forget his 'deer in the headlights stare'.
 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
