Kind of makes you wonder what it must have been like for Alan Shepard
sitting on top of that Redstone just before they lit it....put together
by
government workers after being assigned the job of building it as the

I thought Wally Schirra said that.


and I thought it was the private sector that bid on government
contracts, not "government workers".


Remind me in the future if I happen to state pi to extend it to it's maximum
just for this newsgroup's more intellectual readers.

Sometimes I wonder, but there actually ARE some really intelligent people on

It was once said that if an infinite number of monkeys were placed at
typeriters that one would immediately write a great work of literature.

Nowadays, thanks to Usenet, we know that's not true :-)
