Aussie to be blasted from Texas again

[daedong]

Not a bad effort for a boy from the bush

Well, we keep blasting him, but he keeps coming back. Going to have to naturalize him soon. /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif

I am glad to see words about anyone that is enthusiastic about the space program. I was working on the Space Station when I retired from NASA.

Vin, you can't keep a good Aussie down, can you??

250 years ago we were shipping you out of the U.K. in prison ships and you came back to whip us at rugby, cricket and tennis and just about every other sport. .... except curling and marbles. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif Now, we've gone high tech and are trying to fire you into space in rockets and still you come back. Typical Aussie, can't take a hint!!!! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Ofcourse, you know why he had to come to the States to join a space program .... The Aussies couldn't train a kangaroo to jump high enough. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

What is Woomera being used for these days?????

Not bad, not bad at all.

Vin, he's doing a very dangerous job. It's nice of the Aussies to volunteer to be shot up into space. /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif

Actually he will be blasted from Cape Canaveral at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida.

This is true. As long as we are working on accurate wording, (and this isn't meant to be a joke or a criticism of the original poster) let's pray that these brave, dedicated public servants get launched, not blasted. The hard working people of NASA have been through a difficult time.

Here, here!! And regardless of what one thinks of the war and how it's being handled, hats off to both the mother country and to our Aussie cousins for their willingness to stand by our side in the fight against terrorism. We share a common heritage. Here's to our friends in the world. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

If I were to have to leave the USA and live elsewhere,I do believe Australia would be my 2nd choice of a place to live next to the USA...its too bad Australia is not our 51st state.

Whoops!!!! I'm not sure the Australians would like that. I do agree with you however, if I wasn't here, you'd probably find me in Australia or possibly New Zealand. I spent some time in Sydney and over in Perth and up and down Western Australia and absolutely loved it. I think I could be very happy there. I've never been down in Vin's neck of the woods though. I'm told it's beautiful.

It is of interest this comment as just last night there was a article on current affairs programme about young kids and their Americanisation. Most of the kids interviewed did not know or use our heritage slang like G’day mate but use new rap crap sayings instead.

Woomera is still in use

I vote to make New Zealand our 51st state and Australia our 52nd state.We could drill for oil in the outback... /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif

Awe, any aussie can get blasted into space...now that ones that build their own house boat deserve some respect! /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif [seriously, you have way more talent than I]

Way off track, but now that you have the house boat, have you found that elusive octopus's garden yet?!

As far as Assie teens picking the "rap crap" slang....we already have 50 states with that....sure don't need 51!
