......which nudged out the Alien Rescuers from "LOB" by ever-so-slightly much. But they were much too friendly and helpful, versus the awesome killing might of the Holy Hand Grenade. Hence, making sure that NASA remembers the Lord's exact instructions to the original Brother Maynard (not our lovely one, here), we reiterate them, as follows: "First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin, then shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three shalt be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shalt be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thou foe, who being naughty in my sight, shall snuff it."
(Mind you, we should wait until the Space Shuttle gets out of the way, if at all possible.....if only because the astronauts were awakened with "Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life" this morning......or so we are told!!???!!!)
May it always be so~jk

Terggi Hergenfueller: In an attempt to hit the poorly orbiting satellite on the first try The Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch will be tossed, ever so carefully, from an SM-3 missile from a Navy cruiser, the USS Lake Erie, in an effort to hit the wayward satellite. Notices are being issued to aviators and mariners to remain clear of a section of the Pacific beginning at 10:30 p.m. EST Wednesday, indicating the first window of opportunity to launch.
Having lost power shortly after it reached orbit in late 2006, the satellite is well below the altitude of a normal satellite. The Pentagon wants to hit it with an SM-3 missile just before it re-enters Earth's atmosphere, in that way minimizing the amount of debris that would remain in space.
Adding to the difficulty of the mission, the missile will have to do better than just hit the bus-sized satellite, a Navy official said Tuesday. It needs to strike the relatively small fuel tank aboard the spacecraft in order to accomplish the main goal, which is to eliminate the toxic fuel that could injure or even kill people if it reached Earth. The Navy official described technical aspects of the missile's capabilities on condition that he not be identified.
Also complicating the effort will be the fact that the satellite has no heat-generating propulsion system on board. That makes it more difficult for the Navy missile's heat-seeking system to work, although the official said software changes had been made to compensate for the lack of heat.
While the obvious warhead of choice IS the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch (which I normally carry, but which Brian loaned to Pres. "Dubya" Bush) - - - there is a problem with the deployment and explodement of the HHG.
Exploding the HHG requires that someone remove the Holy Pin FIVE seconds (3 Sir) THREE seconds before it explodes (ref. Book of Armaments, Chapter 4, Verses 16 to 20: "First thou pullest the Holy Pin." [excerpted])
As shown below by the rocket launching from Elmer Gantry, this may be a problem, for Houston. As the capsule is unmanned (um, er un-womaned?, un-personed?, it's even un-primated {with respect to Cleese - "I am a Gorilla"}).

Unfortunately, JEB mis-Googled his plane reservation.
