    Default Deep Impact

    After yet another succesfull space exploration misson I wondered what the Org felt about Deep Impact and maybe space exploration as a whole.

    Is it a porn movie?
    There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

    To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticise.

    I get giddy when I think about all the calculations to determine trajectories and intercept in space...

    I thought Deep Impact was an ok Film. Tea Leoni was good though

    space program is a total waste of money. utterly pointless.

    better to give that money to the poor instead.

    Therapy helps, but screaming obscenities is cheaper.

    While space exploration is a noble goal, and is a better use of money than expolsives, bombs, and fancy planes, they money could be used for better purposes. But since it wouldn't be used for it any time soon, I'm not going to have a heart attack or anything...

    i´m all for it...


    on the other hand i find it kinda funny that after a couple of failed attempts to "land" probes in mars the scientists came up with a new aproach "we´ll just slam into it!"

    The only space programs I support are Star Wars(or whatever President Bush calls it these days) and the exploration of relatively close planets that we could actually hope to gain anything from.

    I don't know if this belongs in the Stupid Lawyers Ticks thread or this one, but here you go: scientist sues NASA over deep impact for "moral sufferings." Yikes. I'd rather set her loose with a bear and a shark.
