i agree with craigsjaffe. a few years ago i watched in great detail as a tractor trailer turned into a giant robot from outter space (transformers) and we're just NOW getting to see the shuttle launch beyond the earth's atmosphere. kind of adds some validity to that whole "wind flapping armstrong's flag" deal.
