COUNTDOWN from the ‘Signals’ cd by Rush. On April 12, 1981, Rush was invited to NASA to watch the launch of the first Space Shuttle Columbia. They were so impressed and inspired that they came up with this song and video to pay tribute to NASA astronauts Young and Crippen, and the whole space program.

And Obama YOU CAN BURN IN HELL AND TAKE YOUR WIFE WITH YOU!!!!!!!!
I always enjoyed the double boom when I was physically in Los Angeles and the Shuttle landed at Edwards.
The money we spent on the stimulus could have funded at least 2 mission to Mars.
I am just so very sad of the amount of hope that has been lost since Obama took office, among the thiings he is destroying is the morale of America.
Kennedy gave us a goal, to be the first to the moon. It built our nation, gave us unity, pride and levels of achievement unheard of.
Obama takes it away.And he makes no effort to even recognize this event.
Another reason to get rid of Obama in 2012. The symbolism of the US retreat from space cannot be overestimated. This is a great day for Obama who believes the world will be a better place with the US brought down to the level of the rest of the world.
3200 people will lose their job when Atlantis touches down.
Fox just showed the signs the NASA workers had made. It has me crying, these people made their signs and are holding them up to the camera of the various jobs that have had with NASA and how they have been a part of all of this. One can just see the pride but sadness too with each one of them.
Touchdown! And all is safe. Awesome!
Wheel stop.
It’s over…and I am in tears.

Obama’s daddy, a Marxist, would have been proud of him. His son has made us dependent upon the Russians, the Communists he adored, in order to send Americans into space.
And this is the man Teddy Kennedy endorsed. JFK must be spinning in his grave. Simply disgusting.
