Typical fucking hysteria.
Ignore them when they're up.
Kick them when they're down.I had to use a whole package of q-tips to clean this weekend's media-filth out of my ears.
The goddamn-bottom-line.
If I hear one more person refer to space exploration, travel, or research, as 'routine'.... I will go fucking crazy.
Terrible tragedy. Second one of my brief existense.
Oh yeah. I almost forgot... In my 23 years here, Nasa and other organizations have built two space stations, landed a vehicle on Mars, launched countless amazing telescopes and satellites bringing back gorgeous pictures of far off worlds, launched satellites for world-wide communication, discovered endless possibilities, conducted exhaustive research, and thrilled, amazed, puzzled, and enlightened generations of priveledged people.
Using technology that spans decades, a 1980's budget, the general (un)acceptance of the 60's, Nasa has kept its vision in the future. Yet dealt with its feet nailed to the floor of the past.

I, for one, would glady die for the one of the last noble causes of our so-called modern lives.
(Thanks, I had to get that out)
