Airlock is AOK

"Late Friday night before the spacewalk began,
Mission Control and the astronauts remembered the
anniversary of the first moonwalk, conducted July 20,
1969.
“In about five minutes ... we will mark the 32nd
anniversary of Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin’s spacewalk
on the moon, which represented one of the most
significant moments in human history,” Mission Control
said. “Tonight, as you prepare to take your first steps
out of the Quest air lock of international space station
Alpha, we can take pride in the fact that we continue to
step boldly into the future.”

Now let me get this straight. 32 years ago with a
mission control computer complex much less powerful than
anybody's PC that's reading this (OK james' WEBTV
excepted) we in the US put men on the moon. And now,
NASA wants us to rejoice that they finally got a freakin'
AIRLOCK to work? Is it just me or does anyone else see
something amiss here?
