From the blog of military-COIN expert Andrew (Abu Muqawama) Exum:

"So Google chooses today to celebrate the achievements of a brutal totalitarian regime (that one of its founders fled!) instead of the 150th anniversary of the war that freed the slaves and unified the United States of America. Super."

That just boggled me.]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=9756&Focus=290389#Comment_290389 2011-04-12T12:44:49-07:00 2011-04-12T12:46:26-07:00 Alan Tyson http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/account.php?u=1299

We left the Earth where we came from, and touched the thing connecting and encompassing every single atom, particle, boson and thought in the entire universe. We've been there, and came back alright.

If that thought doesn't make your day better, I don't want to know you.

Gargarin was extraordinarily brave. I'd be afraid to close the door on one that was resting solidly on the ground.

I should probably launch a rocket tonight.]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=9756&Focus=290392#Comment_290392 2011-04-12T12:56:35-07:00 2013-05-25T23:00:06-07:00 roadscum http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/account.php?u=7712

I had about a dozen drops around east London today. Whenever anyone asked what the date was, i'd say "It's Yuri Gagarin day, April the twelveth". More people asked than didn't, none of them ...

Every year I celebrate this day in some form, is something so great.

Don't matter the nation where someone is born orraised. When the thing is with space, we are all only citizens of Earth (yeah, I'm a trekker).]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=9756&Focus=290640#Comment_290640 2011-04-14T16:58:10-07:00 2013-05-25T23:00:06-07:00 Neila http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/account.php?u=5582
