Sniperman - I completely agree with you. The quantity has indeed changed. Does this mean that we should enter once again? It wouldn't seem fair to be eliminated because of changing information ...
I was 5 ... but I remember it clearly. I was sitting in the basement of a family friend's house while my Mom was upstairs having coffee with a friend. I was watching TV - probably upset because my morning cartoons had been replaced by a shuttle launch. Don't get me wrong, rocket ships are cool, but news coverage of shuttle launches are pretty boring when you are 5! I remember watching and getting excited by the count-down. And then ... we all know what happened. I ran upstairs and told my Mom that the shuttle had exploded. She repeatedly told me that space shuttles make lots of fire when they are launching, that's how they get to space. How wrong she was ... she came downstairs to see the TV and she began to cry. It was the first time that I ever saw my Mom cry ... that, more than the shuttle exploding, is my most vivid memory of the day.
These are all fascinating examples of modern architecture - even the Eiffel Tower! Considering that it was originally designed only as a temporary entrance to the World Exposition and many thought it was down-right ugly ... we should all remember how lucky we are that it still stands today!
