This one brought tears to my eyes:

Wasn't there an episode of Wonder Showzen that that had a skit that looked like this video?

Beautiful and sad, thanks for sharing.
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.

Sad coz they've more or less given up manned missions and handed the baton to china.

Why sad?
The space program is the greatest achievement the U.S has ever accomplished.
Admittedly they've dropped the ball in recent years, but still.
The one launch showed the shuttle destroyed, I remember that day vividly.

This is not true at all. We are still in Space. People say that we've dropped the ball tend to forget that we have three people in space right now on the most outstanding space habitat ever conceived, and that rotation of astronauts will continue for the next eight years at least while we rebuild our manned program. People also tend to forget that after Apollo, there was (cough) Skylab, then the Apollo Soyuz. After that, we had nothing until 1979 when the shuttle was unveiled. It takes time and money to retool for the next big thing. Stay tuned.
