7.5 million pounds of thrust, That is what was at the heart of the Saturn Rocket or about 20 times the amount that lifted John Glenn into orbit.

Good one Mark.

Thanks........many of his old satires were my favorites........
The best one, I think, was New Math....... But the idea is the important thing.....

And another fav version is This one.....which is spoofed, but is Tom's voice.......

And then there is this politically and religiously irreverent ditty......Doin' The Vatican Rag............LOL we Christians......we gotta poke fun at ourselves once in a while........

LOL........I started searching for a spare set of nixies when I first bought the clock......but it has a power down setting.....and they have not failed yet.....

Of course, having said that, one of them will go dark in the morning.......LOL..
