I'm from the u.k. and was on holiday in florida when this space shuttle went up. I was totally amazed it was fantastic. I'm just happy i got to see it. I will never see anything like it again, only on t.v.
it actually is suppose to curve. The reason being is that if you were to go straight up to space, you would be perpindicular with earth, and would have to use multi-directional rockets to steer. Which is difficult.
Instead, they go up on an angle, with the shuttle upside down, so when they reach orbit, they are already upside down, and in the right direction.
The reason being upside down is because those tiles on the bottom are heat resistant, thus protects shuttle from sun.
Saddan - It must still be tough for you that you Brits lost the war...230 years ago. Sorry, mate. Are you enjoying all the best of American culture in your country...McDonalds (a vast improvement on British "cuisine" - if you can even call it that.), Walmart, Britany Spears, Paris Hilton, and internet porn. Enjoy!
Jangle, Whilst i understand you don't like people making comments about your country like that, but making wild generalisations about the UK is equally stupid. McDonalds is great but its not an improvement on British food, id still take a roast beef dinner anyday. And do you still enjoy using our Language (badly if i may say so) and cramming your faces with food until your too fat to leave your houses? And then importing all of the materials needed to run the internet from Japan??
(cont.) As to the rest of your missive (fat Americans and imported Japanese internet technology) how can you blame us?? We have in office the stupidest and most backward president in all of US history, who, btw, sets a new US standard for chronically mangling the English language.
The funny part is thinking that I am favorably comparing McDonalds with British "cuisine". Anybody worth anything in the US considers McDonalds nothing more than a culinary horror show. If you want to compare it to the proud traditions of British cuisine, please be my guest.

me i think the wind is moving the smoke of w/e
and the rocket space ship thing is going up straight

it's probably to do with the earth being round. it moves upward but also to the side. but definitely not down...

So, what exactly is your point?
