Do you know Homer Hickam??

A TCWatcher sends the following:

Homer Hickam made an interesting comment on FOX this morning.

In case you don't know who he is, Homer was a poor West Va. miners son who worked his way up to being an
employee/scientist for NASA.

 

He wrote a book called "Rocket Boy" which was later made into a great movie called  "October Sky"

This morning he was interviewed and said this, about the "one shot" shoot down of the crippled satellite

" If this Country's head was on straight they would be holding a ticker tape parade for the Crew of the Cruiser, USS Lake Erie"...

This one rocket firing boosted our National defense 100 fold. N Korea, Iran, China, Russia, all know now that we have a safety net that can accurately stop their incoming missiles even if they are out of the earth's atmosphere.

Of course that was the plan all along, and it was a dandy plan.

I just hope that the next person in the white house don't scrap the system and begin baking cookies for the enemy.

(TCWatch note: Obama has already said he will de-fund the missile defence system that shot the satellite down)

Hilly or Osomabama will do just that and that makes me a little nervous.

At any rate Kudos's to the Officers & Crew of the USS Lake Erie. WELL DONE BLUE JACKETS !!
