   I remember the film about the people that built the space shuttle, that   
   NASA published after its last flight.   
      
   And I remember all those workers with a small white board with their   
   name posed for the camera, and I saw in their eyes the end of the shuttle.   
      
   Great folks really. To treat them as "pork" as some people here are   
   doing reminds me who the real pigs are.   
      
   But lets keep our cool.
