What could possibly go wrong?....................

Ya, this is gonna end GREAT.

Let’s just poke around the one thing that could destroy civilization.

While we’re at it, let’s affix rocket boosters to huge asteroids and see how close to the Earth we can get without hitting it.

Lets try it on Chernobyl reactor vessel first..........................

These people are educated well beyond their intelligence..................

If we can change global climate, a volcano should be easy-peasy.

I thought NASA existed to promote Islam. Why don’t they just pray to Allah?

[Daniel Ramsey]

I say bomb it with a miniature black hole bomb, let it get sucked into another dimension.

“What could possibly go wrong?”

Hold my beer and watch this!

[Red Badger]

The magma chamber is like a balloon.

The tons and tons of rock on top of and around it hold it together.

And if you prick a balloon it will explode................

“NASA’s plan is to drill into the super-volcano”

There’s a wasp nest by the front door at one of my properties. Maybe they’d like to come and poke it.

I have often wondered why we don’t drill adjacent to a volcano and tap the heat energy for steam production. The energy needs of the whole country could be supplied with what is available.

Early experiments have had hopeful results...

When they try that it will be time to bend down, put your head between your knees ans kiss your a$$ goodby.

"Tap a volcano for energy"?

It's been done the world over. It's called "geothermal power." Here's the Geysers Powerplant in Northern California.

It is technically very hard to do. This is a severe corrosive environment due to all the sulfur and other corrosive minerals in the earth. You have a lot of very dirty water to clean up.

[Governor Dinwiddie]

What is it about the phrase "Acts of God" that NASA doesn't understand?

NASA isn't worth a bucket of warm piss. Once upon a time NASA was run by ace engineers, with a passion for their trade. But today, if NASA wanted to put a man on the moon again, they couldn't do it given 20 years, even with full possession of all the tested designs and working blueprints.
