Remember the 60′s, when we wanted to go to the moon and beyond?

Watch this video of Two Russian Cosmonauts riding a Soyuz to the ISS with an American Astronaut hitching a lift. It’s depressing to think that there are no manned NASA rockets scheduled until 2019, and that’s assuming things work out well.

I was marveling last night at the strange coincidence of Davy’s death and the “Hey… Hey… We’re the Monkees” reference the Modern Family writers dovetailed into a Wizard of Oz/Cam’s family history of tornado terror plotline in yesterday’s episode before I fell asleep on the couch and dreamed of tornadoes, only to wake this morning to news reports of deadly storms in the midwest. Creepy. There’s some joke in there about Monkeys and a roomful of typewriters, but I can’t find it.
