     I was at the NASA Causeway viewing site, you lunkhead! :-)
     Amazing how about 200,000 of us, all at the public viewing site,
     all watched Columbia fly off to the East when, if Dr. Doom here
     is correct, it actually flew off to the Northeast! I guess NASA
     faked the dawn too, and made the sun rise in the northeast that
     morning... :-)
