I didn't realize that NASA had fallen so low as to allow morons in the space program.

Remember the good old days when you could be proud of our astronauts?

Jeebus H. Christmas.

From space OF COURSE it looks fragile. It’s called PERSPECTIVE.

Here, Scott, let me help out here.

From a distance, it looks like you could crush Trump Tower between your fingers.

When you get up close, you discover you cannot.

Hope that helps!

It's an intensive screening process involving multiple PC quotas and big-name Ivy League schools.

He’s an irrelevant idiot.

Not really of any importance without marionette strings in his hands.

If you get far enough away, I'd bet it looks really, really small, too.

Despite how fragile that may appear from space, traveling through it unprotected will result in a bad outcome on the return trip... Maybe is isn't as delicate as it looks.

Every time I watch an Apollo documentary and rue the demise of NASA one of these muddle-headed idiots comes along with a litany of PC cliches and I say ‘to hell with NASA.’

When NASA finds it necessary to do this....

NASA bans the word 'Jesus'

Then idiots like Scott Kelly will flock to them and say stupid stuff also.

How the hell did that hack get into space? I thought we shut down our space program and turned it into a mooselim outreach program.

So Scott, please describe the characteristics of a fragile atmosphere?

Weak air currents?

Poorly formed clouds?

Misshaped snow flakes?

Thin water vapor?

Starts from the top.

According to Sheila Jackass Lee we've already landed men on Mars.

On a visit to the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory in 2005, Jackson Lee made embarrassing news by asking if the Mars Pathfinder had taken an image of the flag planted there in 1969 by Neil Armstrong.[2]

Prior to the 110th Congress, Jackson Lee served on the House Science Committee and on the Subcommittee that oversees space policy and NASA.

Al Gore: Earth's Interior 'Extremely Hot, Several Million Degrees'

By Noel Sheppard | November 18, 2009

[snip]

CONAN O'BRIEN, HOST: ...to create energy, and it sounds to me like an evil plan by Lex Luthor to defeat Superman. Can you, can you tell me, is this a viable solution, geothermal energy?

AL GORE: It definitely is, and it's a relatively new one. People think about geothermal energy - when they think about it at all - in terms of the hot water bubbling up in some places, but two kilometers or so down in most places there are these incredibly hot rocks, 'cause the interior of the earth is extremely hot, several million degrees, and the crust of the earth is hot ...

[snip]

The physics and astronomy website Physlink contests Gore's absurd claim:

It is approximately 4000 degC [7230 degF] at the centre of the Earth.

Bernie Sanders: Climate Change is Directly Related To Terrorism

by Michelle Fields
Nov 14, 2015

"In fact, climate change is directly related to the growth of terrorism," said Sanders.

"And if we do not get our act together and listen to what the scientists say, you're going to see counties all over the world...they're going to be struggling over limited amounts of water, limited amounts of land to grow their crops, and you're going to see all kinds of international conflict."

Sanders said at the second Democratic debate in Iowa that climate change poses the biggest threat to America's national security and to security of the world. ..."

They should change the name of the International Space Station to the International Space Idiot Station.

Wait. ISIS is already taken.

The atmosphere was about twenty miles deep a hundred million years ago and it’s about the same depth now. Asteroid impacts, ice ages, super volcano eruptions, mega hurricanes, and earthquakes haven’t killed this “fragile” gaseous skin so it probably doesn’t really need to be “taken care of” by a bunch of trumped up hairless apes like us.

I guess blowing yourself up with C-4 DOES throw out a lot of greenhouse gasses...
