I just thought it was cause that's where the launch pad is and it would cost a lot of money to have multiple ones in the US

i have friends that live in palm bay and melbourne and they watch it live outside every time too. they either go in their backyard or go out on a boat and watch. must be nice! here in indiana the best thing i get is fighter jets flying over head... and those just scare the sh!t out of me! lol

nope, but that's where the kennedy space center is... in cape canaveral. it's the only nasa location that has a launch pad and i'm pretty sure it's all about location. something to do with the equator maybe? not 100% sure.

Also, 68; the Shuttle can launch from Vandenburg, some of the pads there can be refitted in the same manner the cape pads were done when the shuttle program was finished in the late 70s. It's just too costly to fly the thing piggy back on the 747 unless something really effed up the pads at the cape.

Prolly the only reason I can think of them ever launching from Vandenburg.

oops didn't see this when i just posted my reply. your answer is much better than mine though LOL!!!

mine is possible as well, if I won 27 lotteries, won the corvette lottery to get the Hero Edition ZR1, and convince GM to put Green and the Z28 into the lineup now instead of next year, but I am not going to delude myself into thinking that its going to happen if I really hope and wish for it.

and I know its not a direct apples to apples comparison, but while "anything is possible", that doesnt mean you should focus solely on one person.


do me a favor, number out all the women you know (not including family) that are "dateable". I dont care if you dont like them or not, just if they fit into "they are a woman of a certain age or whatever that this other girl fits into".

I know you'd like to think that she can be your sweetheart and you guys can marry and have kids and ride off into the sunset and live happily ever after. But I'm sorry to tell you this isnt fantasy land. this is the real world and you need to drop her like a sack of bricks. I'm telling you this from experience. I've been in your shoes before and thought I was in love and all that bull shit jazz, had numerous friends tell me to open my eyes and see what I was doing to myself. you might think we are full of it, and that you are meant to be with that girl. and if thats the case, it will happen. but I can guarantee you it wont happen if you are acting like a little sad puppy dog chasing her around everywhere

true..which is why I am backing off...and I don't think yall are full of it..I mean yall don't even know me outside of this and you can see it..so I have to take it for all it's worth.

I'm not chasing her anymore..if she wants it..she'll have to come to me and prove it
