The Shuttle has landed

So, the space shuttle has safely returned to mother earth - after a delay of a day. NASA say it had to come down today otherwise the crew would have run out of food -and more importantly, their air purifiers would have run down their essential supplies leading to a build up of carbon dioxide.

So, a heartfelt "welcome home" to the crew of the shuttle and a hearty congratulations to NASA for returning to space. Of course, the big question will be - when is the next launch? NASA will tell you that they need to resolve the issue of chunks of foam arbitrarily detaching themselves from the external fuel tank. Well, I have a solution - why not just make a gigantic condom and roll it down over the external tank prior to launch. Of course, the thin rubber ones that are available over the counter wouldn't be up to the job - no matter how stretch and extra-large they are but surely something could be fashioned out of carbon fibre?

Anyway, that's enough for today - there have been more posts to this blog over the past week than over it's whole earlier life - my little fingers are plain tuckered out from all this typing.

See ya later peeps.
