While I appreciate tha the new bottle fits better in my hand, I prefer the elegance of the original bottle.  Also: have you noticed the original bottle was easier to recycle and had more drink in it?  Sneaky!

The JL421 Badonkadonk is a completely unique, extremely rare land vehicle and battle tank. Designed with versatility in mind, the Donk can transport cargo or a crew of five internally or on the roof, and can be piloted from within the armored shell or from an exposed standing position through the hatch, thanks to special one-way steel mesh armor windows and a control stick that pivots up and down to allow piloting from the standing or seated positions.

Maybe this is why I’ve been smelling playa dust on and off all day…

STS-129 Ascent Video Highlights from mike interbartolo on Vimeo.

Extremely cool.  Hey, NASA!  You know the relative position of every camera.  Why can’t you build a real time 3D model of the launch vehicle, the pad, their positions relative to each other, and then broadcast the whole show in 3D in Google Earth?
