Things You'd Like To See Just ONCE Before You Die . . .

[indianasmith]

What are those things you've heard of, or wished for, that you would like to see happen for real JUST ONE TIME.
For me:

1.  An armadillo that died of natural causes. (All Texans will understand this)
2.  Bill Clinton turn to Hilary in public and say "Woman! Make me a sandwich!"
3.  Someone actually beat a red-headed stepchild.
4.  Someone donate an piano or organ to a church that actually worked.
5.  Menard say: "You know, this would have been a good movie if it weren't for all those boob scenes."
6.  Jerry Springer  look at a guest and say: "You abnormal FREAK!  Get off my show!!"
7.  Uwe Boll saying: "My movies suck.  I'm going to become a librarian instead."
8.  Someone actually measure how much fun a barrel of monkeys can really be.

What about you?

I take it you have never seen Darfur, Indy. That was a emotionally draining experience and I cried at the end of it.

Reading an account by Penn Jillette cemented this for me. I want to be physically present for a space launch.

One, I'm a space nerd and I am still to this day crazy about space exploration, and nuts to the naysayers!

But the way Penn describes it is wonderful. Naturally, you are seated miles away from the launch site. So the first thing you see is the light and sound of the space launch. You get that moment when you get to consider the majesty of humanity reaching beyond this tiny bubble, striving for the stars. And then right after that, a complete wall of sound envelops you, furiously loud.

Proof of the legitimacy of human endeavor. Sounds great, I would love to see it before I die.

That does sound beautiful.  Once, I almost got to see a space shuttle launch.  They canceled it before it took off due to bad weather.

Any more movies about seniors posing naked for calendars and you may well hear that.

Me too. I love to watch old Apollo launch footage, and it makes me a little sad when I think that I was a toddler when the last Saturn V flew. The Saturn V is almost like some great extinct beast. Once the earth shook with the power of their engines, but now you can only view a couple of carcasses mounted in museums. And now the same has happened to the shuttles.

I am, however, very encouraged by the ongoing development of new deep-space craft and heavy-lift boosters. Worried that the projects will be pushed back, cut back and dropped, of course, but still encouraged. If another lunar mission takes place in the next ten or fifteen years, I think I will try to see the launch in person. That's assuming it launches from Florida, and not Kazakhstan, South America or China.

I've  seen mostly all I want to see  from the seven wonders of the world to a  space  launch. I guess I'd like to go to space and/or come in contact with a  UFO and get  off this  planet.

A dinosaur is also a pretty cool thing.
