That's #2 - the guy who was the voice of both the Count and Snuffle-upagus on Sesame Street died yesterday. These things usually occur in threes...

I still dont think we ever landed on the moon. Never went back and our own President said we would go back 4+ years ago and we never did it. We did it 40+ years ago and all we can do today is fly around in a shuttle but not land anywhere with all the tech advances etc. I guess I just have my doubts.

To this day I so clearly remember watching the moon landing and walk. It was such an amazing feat and mind blowing for a 12 year old. Then I walked outside and looked up at the moon and tried to imagine what Neil and Buzz were doing. Neil Armstrong was a true American hero and one of my heroes as well. RIP and well done.

Doubtful if it was due to health issue...probably disgust thanks to Bush starting to destroy NASA and Obama finishing it...
