I was reading about the test flight of the Ares X1 rocket today. The interviews were about some of the hassles of stacking a rocket that's 327 feet tall, and how they had to find ways to transport large sections from all over the country. Then I got to the last line of the interview, where a NASA OFFICIAL said, and this pains me, "It's really unprecedented for NASA, building a rocket this big."
Except for the ten year long Saturn project that launched 12 Saturn Vs, each of which stood 363 feet tall, and weighed over 6 million pounds.
DOH!
You work at NASA, right? Did they hire you last week right out of Lived Under a Rock University?
I'm pretty sure that if I worked for an agency or company that was responsible for mankind's crowning achievement, I'd kinda tuck that into my "don't forget me" folder.
But that's just me.

Dude, he works for NASA, is therefore likely an engineer, and therefore incapable of communicating with normal people.
I'm pretty sure that if I were a janitor at nasa I would remember the Apollo years.
You know what Andy, you're right. That guy's an idiot. In fact, he sucks. Now that I think about it, everyone sucks. We're an entire species of wankers who should be left by the side of the road to die.
You've shattered my illusions.
I hope you're happy.
Shut up wanker, and get back to work. Break's over.
