The news this morning had an item about the Russian Olympic Torch for the upcoming Winter Games in Sochi being carried into space: http://www.reuters.com/...
My local morning newscaster said that the “Olympic Flame” was in that rocket, and for a moment I was thinking what clever bastards them rooskies is for creating a ‘containment vessel’ capable of taking the Olympic Torch up to the space station and out for space-walk! Epic cool!
But no... The torch was unlit, the babbling boob finally revealed... Imagine my disappointment!
I’m embarrassed for and disappointed with our Russian tovarisch for not having made it happen for real.
