Oh you lucky SOB. I just read the rules, and you are going into space for a year to live in an astro deck. Once they have fixed the nitro boosters from the last test mission, you will be on your way. Shame about the last crew, but I'm sure that you will get back alive this time.

Your link to the picture is a link to a page featuring the word "Picture". Be sure to give TGC a plug on your TV spot on BBC.

Wow great job, what state? or city?

EDIT : OH, Housten, Texas. I've visited there quite a bit. My Grandpa used to live there. Very humid, ugh. Anyhow, I've been to that NASA space place, very nice and friendly, I especially like the cafeteria area. Have fun.

Typhoon Lagoon was mediocre. There's one by Busch Gardens in Williamsburg which is MUCH better. Not to mention Virginia is about 8x more beautiful than Florida, kind of like that Washington/Vancouver area.

Hey! They already have them in Star Trek (First Contact)

Which story is it? There are quite a few a/v links on the page TCA linked to.

Can't believe I didn't see this sooner. Should have called the topic I'M GOING TO BE ON BBC BREAKFAST or something - I could have watched it

And I guess dark coder is just a scrotum like that.
Geez dude. I like electromagnetic boots. Why did you have to be negative about the boots? Why?

The BBC video was pretty cool. Post a message from space when you're up there!
