Cari wants to TiVo 60 Minutes tonight because they’re doing a story about Return-to-Flight. Becca wants to TiVo Alias. (Forget for a minute that they are not on at the same time. People in that household don’t check the obvious things.) Becca provides the following summary for Cari as an argument for Alias. (Plus, I provided the helpful input that Alias has better costumes.)
Ok.
Let me summarize what is going to happen on 60 Minutes:
Dan: So, Eileen, tell me about what changes have been made to the space shuttle for Return to Flight
CDR: Well, Dan, blah blah blah blah blah (everything we know)
Dan: Sounds like a lot. What about these rumors I hear about us not being able to fix any problem?
CDR: [flashes a confident smile] Well, Dan, spaceflight is a risky business. We did our best to mitigate the risks, but there’s still some technical challenges we haven’t managed to solve.
Dan: Aren’t you worried?
CDR: Not at all, Dan, I wouldn’t be flying this mission if I didn’t think it was the best thing for this country and our crew.
Flashes over to SMS.
Dan Rather is flying the space shuttle.
Big red flashing light appears on the screen. CDR starts waiving her hands in the air and saying “Wooo wooo woo no survivors.”
Then she shows him how its done by greasing a perfect landing.
Dan says: Well, that settles it, NASA is ready to return to flight. Now we go into a hearwarming story about prisoners who have taught dogs to rescue snowboarders from avalanches.
Irwando says
ok, you two just posted like, the exact same thing, and the exact same time…
Dr. G says
So is it fixed and ready to go or no? I thought the shuttle needed a total revamp, update, recreation or something.
