    In '98, I got invited to go watch John Glenn go back in to space aboard STS-95. We sat in the closest observation deck to the launch (closer than Clinton, who we could see behind us).

    There is nothing in the world like hearing these engines at full throttle. Even at several miles away, the roar was amazingly intense, like standing in a blast furnace.

    I can remember thinking at the time how amazed I was that we as humans could create this. We've got a ways to go before we can actually be considered a space-faring race, but just the fact that we're willing and capable of building machinery like this says a lot.

    @Segador: you might not have known this but there is a very large noise suppression system for the Shuttle. The engines are loud enough that if they didn't have this it would damage the Shuttle and other items.

    You can see the system in operation - it's the water spray that starts up a bit before the main engines light off.

    Maybe when Mickey was still going through the awkward phases of puberty, in which his ears were the same size as his head.

    I love the look of this era, too. The new bowling game for the Zune HD has the coolest loading screen that is a neon bowling alley sign that looks like it came right from the 50's. I love watching it so much I don't mind how long it takes for the game to start.

    Admittedly, Trench Run on the iPhone is kinda fun. But I'm not really a fan of it as a gaming platform overall.

    Fantastic photos. This is another example of the stellar 50's gadget aesthetic. Stuff of that era had this durable optimism to it; it looks built to last 500 years.

    Once again, I vote for a '50s week on Giz.

    @Segador: And if 50's week occurred over at Kotaku, it would be mistaken as "Fallout 3 Week".

    Then again, it could possibly be mistaken in that same way here as well.

    @mattycakes: Probably, but there's a reason Fallout 3 uses the retro-future 50's look: it rocks.
