Peasants. Obviously.

[Vlynndar]

We don't have peasants. We have agriculturists. Or people-with-no-permanent-residence. Depending on which kinds of peasants you mean.

I don't think we have pheasants.

Florida is better, because we have NASA. And almost anywhere within 50-100 miles of it can still see the shuttle take off. Closer than that is the definition of awesome, especially at night when there's a second sunrise caused by the takeoff.

And an added note of awesomeness, one return flight of the shuttle (Atlantis I believe), anyone along the coast of Florida witnessed a modified 747 carrying the shuttle on top of it. I had a front-row seat as it buzzed right next to my house; pretty close to the water might I add.

Thing sounds like a cannon going off; freaking loud. Nearly broke some windows.

Can any other place top that?

EDIT: Okay, America rocks for this reason (Seeing as the ferrying was from CA to FL); but Florida is where it all happens.

Montana is better because we don't have shuttles causing property damage.
Or (crocodiles?) alligators in our yards
Or lots of people
Or lots of insects
Or etc.

[Neruz]

You don't have etc? My god!

Australia does have some awesomeness though, since you can sue NASA for littering if you find some leftover rocket on your land...

(New Rule for this thread: Australia's already better, don't mention it?)

Yo.
