If you live on the east coast there's an opportunity to see something cool tonight. I live in Nothern Virginia, I hope I can see this. virginia rocket launch
Son of a bitch, I thought I included one. http://www.delmarvanow.com/story/ne...lorful-rocket-wallops-sunday-night/387970001/
On a different note I can remember when I was going to college and living in Santa Barbara there were regular rocket launches out of Vandenberg AFB and the contrails could be seen from several counties away. When I was a kid, in the 1980's I can also remember my father taking my sister and I to watch the Space Shuttle land at Vandenberg. It was a bit anticlimactic as after a long drive through the night to get there for the morning landing all you got to see was the shuttle gliding in, landing, and then the shoots deploying to help slow it down. My most vivid memory was my dad speeding in his Ford Mustang 5.0 some where near Vandenburg and a farmer was using his combine to harvest hay which caused grasshoppers to fly out of the field on to the roadway splatting on the windshield. He was going some where north of 100mph at the time because my older sister had asked him how fast it would go and his response was "I will show you!". So many grasshoppers we splating on the windshield he had to use the windshield whippers but all that did was smear bug guts every where. In his defense it was a rural but excellent straight roadway on the central coast without another car in sight.
IIRC in "The Martian Chronicles" all the Mars bound ships were launched from launching area/pad somewhere in Ohio.
I'm pretty certain no space shuttle ever landed at Vandenberg Air Force Base List of space shuttle landing sites From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Three locations in the United States were used as landing sites for the Space Shuttle system. Each site included runways of sufficient length to provide adequate distance for the slowing-down of a returning spacecraft. The prime landing site was the Shuttle Landing Facility at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida, a purpose-built landing strip. Landings also occurred at Edwards Air Force Base in California, and one took place at White Sands Space Harbor in New Mexico. No space shuttle landed on a dry lakebed runway after 1991. Various international landing sites were also available in the event of a Transoceanic Abort Landing (TAL) scenario, as well as other sites in the United States and Canada in case of an East Coast Abort Landing (ECAL) situation.[1] Space shuttle landings were intended to regularly take place at Vandenberg Air Force Base in California for Department of Defense missions launched from the site, but none occurred due to the cancellation of all launches from Vandenberg
Seriously, dude, you need to grow some skin. I had a friend in high school who could vomit on command, without sticking something down his throat. You want to shock me, you're going to have to do better than a gag from an '80s movie.
If I see someone puke, it makes me wanna puke. I could never be a nurse, EMT or doctor or anything like that. Blood doesn't freak me out, cat diarrhea does. My anxiety also triggers gagging. Just thinking of gross shit makes me gag. That being sad, I love gory horror movies. Edit: I also hate hugs, they freak me out.
I hate bugs too. Mosquitoes mainly but spiders give me the creeps. Anything that might crawl in your year is high on the list.
lately I have had a few weird grey fuzzy looking centipede bugs in my house. I'm going to research them. UPDATE! Now I won't kill them anymore - they are beneficial. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scutigera_coleoptrata
