Good song. Lived it twice. Now I'm depressed... sad.gif

...nah. smile.gif On another thread, I made a reference to www.chucknorrisfacts.com, which chronicles a recent fad where the legendary abilities and achievements of the venerable action movie and television star are being documented in popular culture. Esteemed forum member mchan PM'd me with some of his own related to UMSF, and I'd like to share a few of mine from my response to him with the community. Feel free to add a few of your own, but beware: Chuck Norris is watching! Always!

---

MPL didn't crash. Chuck Norris needed an HGA for his Martian summer home satellite TV, and no way was he going all the way to a Radio Shack on Earth.

The Pioneer 10 anomaly is easy to explain. Chuck Norris likes to mess with JPL's heads by going out to it & giving it a little backwards push regularly.

If you look closely enough at the best image of Ontario Lacus on Titan, you can see Chuck Norris skinny-dipping there. He has no shrinkage. Ever.

Ranger 7 was the first successful probe in the series only because NASA finally decided to go with a rocket as the launch method rather than a roundhouse kick from Chuck Norris.

There are rings around Uranus. They are there to help Chuck Norris aim when he kicks its a**.

Q: What would you get if you crossed Chuck Norris with MSL?
A: Dead. Nobody crosses Chuck Norris.

A few will take this knowledge and use this power of a dream realized as a force for change, an impetus for further discovery to make less ancient dreams real.

Huh, I thought it worked because they used peanuts as the rocket propellant in stage 1 rolleyes.gif
Astro0, I owe you an update of the script ... will email as soon as I get around doing it
