That's paraphrased from Earl Bassett, the movie Tremors 1.

Tremors 1. Pure unadulterated entertainment.

Wow, once the coating began to explode off the cables, it was time to duck and cover!

For many that read the report on page 1 of the thread... Is sad but not shocking/surprising. Only thing good seems no-one killed when cables etc went everywhere.
Now NAIC just have to clean up leftover mess and not spending big money to demo the whole thing. CDI and other big Demo companies cost huge amount of money w/ good reason beside to make profit.
Expect many Ebay items as they scrap most of it. Including fake items didn't come near there.

Radishes from an orbiting vegetable garden
Are you paying attention, if you are one of the "space science" doubters or skeptics?
I already see the possibilities. "Radishes grown in microgravity have a freshness and flavor nuances that you've never experienced before. Just $124 per pound at Whole Space Foods."

Well, when you're down on your luck,
And you ain't got no bucks,
In Puerto Rico you're a goner.
Even Aricebo has fallen down
to be rebuilt in Arizona.
Now we know why.
