Liftoff! - HoagieOfDoom - 04-12-2011
Fifty years today, Yuri Gagarin blasted off in Vostok 1 from the Baikonour Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan. In 108 minutes he orbited the Earth and safely returned. Since then, livable stations have been built in orbit around our planet and people have personally visited the god**** moon. Here's to the first explorer of space, and to another fifty years of manned exploration of the cosmos!

The real question is this..when are moon bases and planetary colonies going to happen?

Off topic -- Jack, while I like the graphic, it's a bit large for sig.

I'll help him cut it down to size, Bob. Was a bit worried myself when I saw it, but I wanted to see how others reacted since I've seen sigs that are longer than that on SpaceBattles.

No prob -- if no one complains, I won't make an issue of it.

Hey Bob, sorry about the sig, I was a bit busy. I fixed it, and put a new one up.

No problem, I wasn't hacked off about it, just thought it was a bit big.
