I realize this is the Wash. Times, but the British media has been doing the job the MSM won't do for the last couple years.
Gore should instead have tried selling the Brooklyn Bridge - that's more consistent with his intellectual capacity.
Ain’t the internet great! I can’t imagine what would have happened to this story. (Thanks AlGore!) And I believe this is just the tip of the iceberg (pun intended) for the Global Warmongers.
We may hear something from him as he blathers on and on to hear himself talk. But, likely won’t having anything to do with the topic at hand!
Snips: When Congress and NASA targeted $10 billion to fund competing launch systems, we threw in the towel. We simply could not compete with such government funded boondoggles.
Asking NASA to develop low cost space access is analogous to asking Amtrak to develop new low cost locomotives, or the U.S. postal service to develop new low cost electronic mail systems. Let's all be thankful that Congress didn't fund NASA to develop low cost personal computers to compete with Dell and Compaq, and new low cost operating software to compete with Microsoft. With enough money, NASA will always succeed. The consequences of NASA's success would be that Microsoft and Windows would not exist and some clunky NASA software package written by IBM would be the industry standard.
Incidentally, I was appalled that former NASA engineer Dennis Tito had to pay a foreign country to access the ISS. Let's all be thankful that Congress never funded NASA to develop the automobile. If it had, I suspect that the use of these dangerous vehicles would be restricted to "autonauts" and we common citizens would revel that these highly trained "autonauts" could operate these incredible high performance automobile machines.
Dont let the MSM win this.
Show everybody you know (best ClimateGate clips):
I was too. As a child I dreamed of being an astronaut. I lost faith completely in them a long time ago. It’s just plain sad..
