    If I'm not mistasken didn't SSE have a Spaceship in it with a young woman looking out of the porthole. It was on the downward descent portion of the ride. I believe some people say it's still there only blacked out now.
    I don't think you have to worry about that long slide into senility quite yet Dan.

    I'm glad Spaceship Earth is getting a major refurbishment. If it was up to me, I'd just update some of the audio-animatronics, quiet down the track system and bring back Walter Cronkite's narration.
