Wonderful! I'd love to take pictures like that...which would mean
that I was up there with them. I'd go in a _heartbeat_!

Absolutely fantastic photos. The US can still do first class work!.

Canada, I saw the arm, the kinematics of grabing something that big and not
forking up the shuttle has to be an impressive contribution. Why aren't ya
competing with Fanuc?

Btw, could the shuttle be considered an ASAT? **** us off and we will
snatch it out of orbit

Yeah, a lot of technology in the arm. Did you know that it
is not strong enough to support itself against earth's gravity?
Poses a number of testing questions, doesn't it? And, as you
say, kinematics even when "weightless".

(Wondering if it was a Canadian that developed the robotic
prostate surgery roto-rooter? Excuse me, I have to re-swallow
my private parts....)

Not certain on that one but a lot of robotic surgery was/is developed
right here at the university hospital complex.

Amen!

I think even if I knew it would cost me a couple of years off my
lifespan I'd make the trip for the chance to get into space just once.

BTW: Love your .sig

Yeah, you bet. 'Course, I'd also want to have a sheila up there so we
could say we joined the Mile High Club.
