  • Cool. A group of divers financed by the Discovery Channel recovered the capsule back in '99, on July 20, the 30th anniversary of Apollo 11's landing, and just one day before MR-4's 38th anniversary.

  • It's not unpatriotic to want an at-least adequate government. It's not unpatriotic to want change. What's unpatriotic is giving your country a bad reputation through ignorance and nationalism. GWB is a joke. But please, what has purpose has conservatism served in the past eight years (correction: ever).

  • Oh, and up that Methadone dose. You and Hillary are a bit edgy lately.

  • My pop flew TBM's in WWII off the Randolph to the tune of a DFC and many dead japs, and commanded a squadron on the Forrestal. He was KIA, and I bleed Red, White, and Blue. If you call yourself a liberal, you are no patriot. You are just unhinged. Public liberal anti-war displays during war KILL soldiers and pilots. Loose lips sink ships. You and your pals in Hollywood have a nice hot cup of SHUT THE HELL UP, and let them do their jobs and win the war. And learn what sarcasm is you traitor.

  • You are a fucking idiot..yeah,I am a liberal and proud but just because I am a liberal does not mean that I think all military people are evil. My father passed away this Feb..you are lucky I dont see you..that is all I will say. My father was more of a patriot than you will ever be. Yes,Bush and the current administration are evil and untrustworthy and use the military for their evil. However,that does not mean the soldiers or sailors are evil. Oppose unjust war but support the troops. Eat shit

  • Feb. 20, 1962

  • My father was aboard the Randolph during this. He also picked up Gus Grissom when he blew the hatch as well as during the Cuban Missile Crisis naval blockade. He has some great stories from those times.

  • Just as long as he didnt become a idiotic conservative.

  • It was february 20,1962...not feb 22
