“Where does NASA find these bozos?”

My neighbor was up on the Challenger and had a special hand in the creation of the Space Shuttle program.

He’s a rabid leftist, a nice neighbor, but an absolute political loon.

I’m surprised that Kelly isn’t blaming gunfire for the pollution.

And how does one "see" the atmosphere, being as air is invisible?

When is Mr. Gabby Giffords gonna make his big political splash? The MSM has been hyping him for years now.
Is it possible he’s smart enough to realize gun grabbers don’t fare too well in elections these days?

He’s as big a dumbsh*t as his brother is. Just a couple of retarded lefty twins.

Brother ... Is he related to Mark Kelly, the spousal abuser of the brain-damaged St. Gabby of Giffords?

‘to hell with NASA.’

Leftists sent NASA to hell in the early 1970s. That scrofulous toad Ralph Abernathy (look him up) whined that NASA was for "whitey" ... and demanded all forms of gibsmedat. One form of gibsmedat was turning NASA into an 'affirmative action' jobs program for the incompetent.

There are good men at NASA doing good work, but the organization as a whole is broken and corrupt.

Maybe Scottie can stay in space where the atmosphere is more to his liking.

Most government agencies seem to be that way.
When I visited DC there were a high percentage of obese black people coming in and out of federal buildings.

Nevermind how he and his comrades get into space.....punching through the “fragile” atmosphere on giant, flaming rockets at a speed of five miles per second while leaving behind spent, solid-rocket fuel contrails several miles long
