Space Shuttle Sighting

Check out these photos of the Space Shuttle on the barge down in New York City

Today I went down to the city to see the Space Shuttle on the barge. It was a fantastic sight and a sunny day. I also saw the CBS 2 weather van and reporter.

Editor's Note: 

Residents in New York City and on up the Hudson River through Ossining got a chance to see the Space Shuttle Enterprise on top of a 747 for a flyover in April. 

Built in 1976 as a prototype, the ship was never be used on a real space mission but instead played a vital roll in NASA's high altitude test flights and other testing modalities.

On Wednesday, the Enterprise sat on top of a barge as it was towed on the Hudson River on its way to the Intrepid Sea, Air and Space Museum to be on display permanently.

This is just ridiculous. There are two aspects to our water. Supply and demand. United WaterRead More control our supply and have been instructed by the NY Public Service Commission to increase our supply. Our politicians control our demand. They could enact legislation to restrict demand tomorrow: Introduce water saving measures, restrict growth and introduce incentives and policies to conserve, but do they? No, of course not, they would rather showboat and slam UW, who are doing what the State has mandated. If our local politicians are serious on this issue, propose real legislation and water conservation measure, not just baseless rebuke of UW.
