Oh FFS du Jour

Just the other day I was bragging on the James Webb telescope, which was set to launch today...but of course their launch has been scrapped due to bad weather.

Grrr.

"But Xmastime", you say in the voice of Craig “Ironhead” Heyward from those soap commercials (RIP), “didn't you roll your eyes at this bullshit decades ago?" 

Sigh. Yes I did, faithful readers, YES I DID:

6) I’m glad the space shuttle finally made it off the launching pad. This fucking thing can hold 50,000 tons of shit, blasts off with 12 gazillion pounds of pressure psi, immediately hits 28,000 mph and OH NO NO!!!....might rain later on, so we better scratch the liftoff. Wtf. Not very impressive, assholes. The post office builds its credo around walking around delivering the mail in sleet and hail, yet NASA can’t shoot this fucker through the atmosphere for 1 minute?
