In related news, Nasa does not budget funds for Astrology>>>>

In an amusing anecdote relating to NASA and astrology. I used to work as an environmental engineer, and did a little work as a subcontractor with NASA and its fleet of P-3 orions that gathered data on the "ozone hole" off the coast of S. America.

In reviewing some of the data and the projections, I was reprimanded for making the following statement: "There is cause for both encouragement and despair in this data and the conclusions drawn from it. Despair because it passes no test for data review and validation known to or proposed by man. It is the most pathetic review of numbers and halfhearted attempted at supporting a theory that I have ever seen. Were it not for the pristine motives of the brass at NASA, I would conclude that they are simply telling a politically motivated administration what they want to hear in a brazen attempt to swell its budget. On the other hand, there is encouragement here. Using the data review methods employed here give me hope that using the same methodology will one day open new vistas of scientific inquiry into the field of astrology. The reliability factors are comparable."
