------------------
Did anyone see the recent British Airways
commercial on ABC Sports at about 4:30PM Saturday 23 July?  It features
an American astronaut complaining to a Russian cosmonaut about their
space food and then it cuts away to a pair of British spaceplane pilots
enjoying a delicious snack as they head back to Earth.  The impression
left is that the British will do space in style.

Since this appeared during the live coverage of Tiger Woods winning the
British Open (and the PGA Grand Slam - 4 major tournaments in one year),
Lance Armstrong winning the Tour de France and the Detroit 500 CART
race.  A lot of people saw this commercial.
