Maybe the geniuses at NASA should take a lesson from the indian tribes
still dotting the landscape around the globe, because from what I have just
read, they have designed a walkway that will stick out a mere 70 feet from
a rocky outcropping in the Grand Canyon, yet be able to support "72 Million
Pounds"!!!

Scotty would be damned proud.

Alternatively, we could teach people how to recognize when a
posted URL has a bunch of session information that isn't needed,
and thus only use the actual URL, which is much shorter. Hint:
Stop before the first semicolon.
