I seriously doubt she's talking about North America. Why does everyone think she is?

Sounds like evidence of a giant world wide flood, that produced canyons and other deep ravines. OOPS not where she wants to go I'm sure.

Is is Friday, and we are just having some fun with this lady's comments.

Afterall, there is an element of truth to her statements, but they are not well thought out.

Her statements are to general and could be actually untrue.

Very similar to looking at the dark side of the earth (from her view up there) and commenting on the overwhelming darkness that has "over taken" half of the earth, IN A MATTER OF MINUTES !

It appeals to the "WAR OF THE WORLDS" mentality. And causes panic. Which in turn makes for bad decisions for our future.

Calmer heads prevail, and a little common sense helps.

Unfortunately, "common sense" isn't "common" anymore.

Because most of us are adults, and are aware that one of the most useful propaganda tools is lies by omission, or carefully induced inferences by the ignorant, the gullible and the uneducated.

By being deliberately not explicit, she satisfied her conscious or unconscious propaganda needs.

I have been an unqualified supporter of NASA for longer than most Freepers have been alive, but I am ready to change positions.

Dump NASA.

When the Bugs and Bunny crowd has permeated the process so thoroughly as to glorify junk science and propagandize from orbit, I've had it.

Dump NASA.

I can second everything you just said. I've defended NASA before on FR, but if this is the kind of crap we can expect from them, kill it.

Unbelievable statements from an "educated" person.

Canada is not deforested. Get a grip.

Nobody said Canada was deforested. I was guessing as to where the astronaut saw large clear-cut areas from space. I mentioned Canada as likely because I had seen or heard of such practices there. Are you prepared to tell me I am wrong?

Get a Grip

Canada. Clear Cut Mapping & Deforestation

I'd say your grippers are way too tight. See a doctor.

What's interesting about all of this griping is that NASA, for the last several years, has had as part of its budget and job description the very subject of deforestation. Now, I don't know how involved Collins may be on this matter, but it is obvious that NASA has a personal interest. A quick search on deforestation points this out:

"The actual rate of deforestation is difficult to determine and has been the focus of NASA-funded scientists for many years. NASA projects to study the deforestation of tropical forests are conducted by analyzing Satellite Imagery (pictures taken by satellites in space) to view areas of forest that have been cleared."

So maybe she's a soccer mom cleverly disguised as a shuttle commander. Probably tried to have the shuttle painted Robbin's egg blue. You know how sneaky NASA is...

Perhaps the dolphin finger of friendship would convince him otherwise...

You're right...they're talking about Mars this, comet that, blah blah blah, blah blah.....meanwhile the closet envirolibbies are infiltrating their ranks. They (NASA) have lost my support (meager as it is, even if it is moral support). Collins wouldn't have said this if JF'ingK were President. She probably would have said, "Wow, everything here looks much better than last time when W was in charge...JF'ingK has really made a difference in this short time!"
