Agree, argubs. Orbited the Earth and, late in life, joined Cat Paw to provide timely takes, mostly great in nature, on such subjects as best album of 2015 and best mattress that doesn't exceed $1,000. None on space though. That part was disappointing AF.
He was an American hero that survived dangerous situations, but death finally caught up with him. Rest in pieces.
Seriously though he really was a great man and a hero. I always wanted to be an astronaut as a kid because of men like him. At least he lived a long fruitful life.
You callin him a fruit?Seriously though he really was a great man and a hero. I always wanted to be an astronaut as a kid because of men like him. At least he lived a long fruitful life.
the ones that died in the space shuttle explosions probably did something that people gave a crap about. dying and all that.
Fat, dumb, and proud of it is no way to go through life son.
...to allow the astronaut pilot to have some (lifts finger) to have...(points to press)...to have control of the reentry process (gives a thumb up).
I mean what the hell are they teaching in American history? You have never seen The Right Stuff or Apollo 13 or any number of movies that cover early NASA?
On my high school class trip to DC it was arranged that he came out on the Capitol stairs for a few minutes to talk to us. Pretty awesome experience.
If you truly had not heard of John Glenn, then you have more issues than I thought.
Me too, growing up in the 60s I was obsessed with the Space Program like a lot of kids were. Thanks and RIP Colonel Glenn.Seriously though he really was a great man and a hero. I always wanted to be an astronaut as a kid because of men like him. At least he lived a long fruitful life.
you strap yourself into a skyscraper sized explosive machine, rocket out of our atmosphere with enough highly explosive fossil fuels to wipe a small town off the map, then torch through space at thousands of mph in conditions unimaginable all the while knowing you have to plummet back into our extremely dangerous atmosphere in a machine basically just guiding its way with no power and hoping that a building full of NASA geeks got their science right on your shuttle's design so that you don't ignite into fireball on reentry then gliding around half the globe till you hit your target of a tiny landing strip, yea,you are a badass individual. and badasses like that usually don't care if anyone knows their names or not.

Back where I'm from, we call that a "Tuesday"
Had a friend in college named Brad Brandon, always referred to him as "the man with two first names"
You realize we're sitting on 45,000 pounds of fuel, one nuclear warhead and a thing that has 270,000 moving parts built by the lowest bidder? Makes you feel good doesn't it?
Know how we know you're gay?Reminds me of the coolest scene Brad Pitt ever did.
You think Brad Pitt is cool.
Kalifornia
Snatch
Seven
Fight Club
Inglorious Basterds
12 Monkeys
True Romance
You know how I know you're gay? You think liking Brad Pitt movies is gay.
Lemme make sure I understand this -- you feel so strongly about defending Brad Pitt's "coolness" that you post his filmography?
I hope for your sake that you're a middle-aged chick.
I even liked Burn After Reading. Nothing gay about liking his films.
