...with Endeavour was more or less envisioned in the "Return to Flight" (RTF) report that was issued following the 2003 loss of Columbia and her crew, whose fates were sealed by a gouge in the more critical leading edge of the shuttle wing. The RTF report anticipated more tile shedding and potentially crippling damage; and as a last resort, the shuttle crew would abandon ship and be given safe haven aboard the international space station to await a rescue vehicle...
...Growing up in the '60s, I camped, canoed and played basketball with my dad. I helped him (or tried to) roof the garage, insulate the attic and tile the kitchen floor.

Yes, that's less than a 10th of the water that the Neptune Pool at Hearst Castle holds, and we opted for vinyl and stamped concrete instead of Hearst's glass tile infused with gold and 17th century Italian bas-reliefs. Still, throw in a fence, a heater, a motorized cover and a filter pump that runs 24/7, and I've spent tens of thousands of dollars to surround myself with water, no different from the guy who buys a yacht...
