Governments can be a help, sometimes....Sometimes they're just an obstructing bully.

You'll have to wait until April to see the movie in Europe, Raoul.

I wonder how the presentation of the FAA, FBI and under government
institutions as villians or cruel bureaucrats in the movie will go over in Europe.

Yes, space travel is still difficult, but who knows what engineering breakthroughs
will happen in the next 20-30 years.

  - I didn't know about the hightech scrapyard known as the "missile graveyard". - Jacob Samorodin - 2/25/2007 8:28:31 PM
    - No, it doesn't exist. The Junk Yard was just a convenient lie to move the story along. A bit like New Mexico stood in for Texas. You don't find spacesuit being thrown away. (n/t) - Chris Vancil - 2/26/2007 6:17:35 AM
