One thing I hate about April 1st is all these stupid 'cute' articles. What a waste of time.

Didn't even read the article, but a good giveaway caught my eye. No real press release would say 'Whitehouse'. It's WHite House.

"too bad. Private enterprise should fund it."
I agree. The "space race" against the Soviets was one thing but now it's time to let private entities take this over.

During a brief two-minute period provided for questions from the press, the first reporter asked if this meant the Space Station was also being shut down. To which the President answered, "we plan to either hold an auction on Ebay or give it away to "our international partners." "The ACLU announced a federal law suit demanding that the International Space Station be turned over to the homeless under a provision in federal law that surplus government real estate must be offered to homeless before being given away or sold. 'There is enough living space there to house at least ten homeless or undocumented migrants.' ACLU spokesman Bruce Birkenstock said.

too bad. Private enterprise should fund it (the Space Shuttle). Would you invest in such a program? Not me. And I'm not trying to disparage NASA by saying this. It's just that decisions were made during the conceptual-phase of the shuttle program that guaranteed that it would never be economically viable as a launch platform.

I wish the news about Terry Schiavo's passing also had been an April Fool's joke as well.
