Atlantis

The space shuttle Atlantis has linked up with the International Space Station (ISS) for its final rendezvous.

NASA said Atlantis and its crew of six astronauts successfully docked with the orbiting space lab about 350 kilometres above the South Pacific.

After an hour to check the soundness of the seal, the shuttle and station crews were to open the hatches and hold a traditional welcome ceremony before beginning preparations for the first of three planned spacewalks.

The mission is the 32nd and final scheduled voyage for Atlantis, which first launched in 1985 and has logged some 185 million kilometres over a career spanning a quarter-of-a-century.

After this mission, only two more shuttle launches remain - one in September for Discovery and the final blast-off for Endeavour in November - before the curtain falls on this era of human spaceflight.

Once the three shuttles are retired, the United States will rely on Russia to take astronauts to the station aboard three-seater Soyuz spacecraft until a new fleet of commercial space taxis is operational.

Trollpaste, I see you are back to your usual habits. !!!!



Now we ALL know this post is NOT anything original from your infantile brain.



So why don't you post an acknowledgment to the source you copy and pasted from.

Krikey Emma. There's no need for that.

If you know better, give us links whatever.

I enjoyed Clay's post.

I think I saw you are not a well person emma chizit but do you really need

to be so mean? People can post what they choose can't they? Nothing

has to be original but of course just copying other people's work is

not as good as thnking for ourselves is it.

Are you perfect? I realise Clay often tells people

"to get on their bike" especially anyone new and yes he told me

this and I did wonder what type of person he was and maybe he once

ruled the roust it seems here but was demoted by the looks of it.



btw Mr. Innes you ape emma chizit even to using her same words.

It is easy to get things right (try a bit harder) and also use your own brain sometimes.

ask your grandchildren to help you.

What manner of word is trollpaste as emma always uses to be

nasty? you must like it anyway Mr. Innes to pinch it :sick:

I agree there is no need for your hatred emma chizit.



Why not ignore what Clay submits and get a life as the kids say?

Korry, you just can't help yourself, can you. Firstly, how did you find out

that Emma_chizit is a female? Secondly, how did I ape emma_chiizit?

I have evn used words that you have used on occasions. Believe me,

that is strictly a coincidence. One thing I do on here, is express my personal

opinion, sometimes backed up by a cut & paste, but not very often.

Believe it or not, you have to use your own brain to express an opinion.

I used an acceptable noun, on one occasion only, describing clay,

simply because the noun best described him.

BTW, If you take the time to look up the Urban Dictionary, you will find :-



The copy/paste troll repeatedly pastes the same text block in a forum, with

little to no variation, never posting anything other than that same copied

and pasted block of text, over and over. Sometimes, the copy/paste troll

will have multiple accounts running simultaneously, making them more

annoying, and harder to ban.



It is not a perfect noun for clay, but, close & appeals to me.

My apologies to emma.

Quote from Mr. Innes:-

Korry, you just can’t help yourself, can you. Firstly, how did you find out

that Emma_chizit is a female? Secondly, how did I ape emma_chiizit

________________________________________________________

Maybe you are Emma then Mr. Innes? or you know Emma is actually

a man? What are you trying to say? You know something the rest of us are

not privy to? Share? No good going half way; so Mr. Innes is? er Emma is?



I have never ever heard the word trollpaste until you/Emma used it funny that

Is it actually a made up word?

Oh well.

Korry, I know little about emma, so that is why I asked how you knew???

If you are suggesting that I am as intelligent as emma-crizit, I am

highly complimented. I don't want to insult you any more, but, if you look

through the dictionary, you will probably find 100s of words you have

never heard of, but just because you are ignorant, doesn't mean that

the words don't exist.

BTW, I ask again; how did I ape emma_chizit? Or, is that just another

of your unsubstantiated inane statements???

Hi Korry

...

Firstly let me say thank you for posting a non venemous series of comments regarding the forum bullys here of which there are two

One seems to be female but I doubt that ..............no woman could be so vile and crass in her language or attitude and what ever "IT " says about me I do not read it as I have blocked " IT "out so"IT" is wasting its time really



The other is a suposed academic who delights in tearing this forum down and I think its in order to attempt to be intelligent but he misses the mark completely

He says things about me that are false and bordering on libel a matter that he accused one other member of doing some time ago..............But then we know that most all of his comments here are wrong anyway

..

So Korry I will try my best to ignore him for the clown that he is and I will continue to make a small contribution to this forum in what ever manner I feel like and acording to Admin guidlines

..

The othe person as I mentioned is of no consequence to me as I do not read what the vile person says .anyway..........clay

See what happens when you don't take your medicine for a couple

of days clay. Just remember that running off at the mouth, only

comes in the early stages. As long as you keep your daily dode up,

it shouldn't get any worse.

clay, do I have your permission to tel my grandchildren that somebody

as august as you has declared me to be a supposed academic. Coming

from the retired manager of a corner store, that only employed a manager,

this is indeed a pat on the back.

I have to agree with you clay...... the "ignore" button is underutilized and could stop a lot of the bickering we have on the forum. I have several on mine and just occasionally look at one of their posts to see if their mental state has improved.

;-)

kfchugo, I have tried to make serious comment on this site. There have

been 3 people who have never got off my case. Let me assure you that I

overcame bullying when I was at school. Now, if someone takes a swing

at me, either knock me out, or run, because I swing back. If you look back

through the last 20 months posts, you will note that there was none of

this vitriole, even from clay, before Korry & fwed joined.

I agree Hugo and think that this forum has a serious problem and that Admin should do something about the agro that a couple of clowns create here ..............Its a constant problem I think and like you my ignore button is about to get an extra member and this is a bit overdue

..

Good bye innes ................

Clay, thank you for the post re:- Atlantis. I am interested in space travel and I see no reason why you should not copy an article from another source, for the BENEFIT of interested parties.
