This is awesome news :)
Waste of money to solve nothing...
I figure it's going to cost about 1% as much as the Iraq war, and it gives me pretty pictures, so it's worth it.
The war is always a lame argument. We add to the debt through this waste of time called 'NASA'. Wars happen, for the best or worst, sadly, for the worst. However, nobody can change the past, only the future! :)
Right. Going into space is easily the worst idea we've ever had. :rolleyes:
well if that asteroid comes...;)
...we can take pretty pictures of it?
I was talking more about getting into space, but barring that, yes, we could take pretty pictures.
That is, before we get squished...Quote:

No, those are just the only ones you hear about.
I estimate that the money spent on WWII all together is enough to make an Intrepid class starship.
I don't live in US, that's why I hear about other wars too.Quote:

For example Kazakhstan and Russia.
Kazak-who? Russia? I've never heard of them. I'm just an American imbecile brainwashed by the American media, which only reports American wars so I don't know what's going on in the world. I wish we had a free press like Estonia's! Oh wait, we do. Whew.

In all fairness the BBC is boring and depressing. The reporters all sound like they need midol or zantac and they talk about practically nothing. I know because the Jazz radio station thinks it's "cool" too play it on the top of the hour"
I think we should just let hubble go out with a bang and crash into a random spot on earth.
Congratulations! You've won the Hubble crash lottery! You get to...die.
According to Wikipedia, NASA still hasn't paid the littering fine from the last time they did that!Quote:

Quote:
The Australian local government the Shire of Esperance fined the United States $400 for littering. In 2004, the History Channel show "History Rocks" stated, in an episode covering major events of 1979, that this fine has never been paid.
Taco Bell could do their stupid contest thing again.Quote:

BLAM! The dog finally gets it. Awesome. I'd buy some tacos to see that.
I would not define a chihuahua as a dog, it is more of a cross between a rat and a cat.
And an annoying weasel.
It's actually the reincarnation of Napoleon Bonaparte. Have you ever seen something 6 inches tall show no fear and try to intimidate a cargo truck?Quote:

No, maybe not ... perhaps it will spot a vulcan c'thia zooming past our system at warp 5.

Yes, I forgot. [LOWVOICE] you'r a european. [/LOWVOICE] :D
The US seems to have their fingers in EVERYTHING, but none of the wars acctually happen IN the US. ... thankfully. :)
