"The atmosphere almost looks like an eggshell on an egg, it's so very thin..."

...and the people that inhabit the Earth look like ants.

...and the people that inhabit the Earth look like ants.

Yes, people have shrunk.

Unbelievable B*LLSh!T!

Politics in the Universe !

Yuck !

Oh my, we don't have much air?!! We need to start locking it up somewhere or bottling it so it doesn't just float off into space! Or get wasted by being breathed by someone else! Oh my!!!

"The atmosphere almost looks like an eggshell on an egg, it's so very thin," she said. "We know that we don't have much air, we need to protect what we have.""

So does this mean we can declare war on third world countries and be happy?

[Mind-numbed Robot]

I knew we shouldn't have let her go.

I rarely take environmental advice from astronauts who rely on hyrdocarbon-based methods to take their plastic and polymer based shuttles into space.

[Pikamax]

Brazil has a lot to answer for them.

" Commander Eileen Collins said astronauts on shuttle Discovery had seen widespread environmental destruction on Earth and warned on Thursday that greater care was needed to protect natural resources"

And she's an astronaut, so I guess that makes her an expert, Right?

I wonder how much that opinion cost me?

[ARA]

What crap... I doubt she really said this tripe...

[lawdude]

This is a crock of sh*t!

[Pessimist]

Wonder if she can see Mexicans running across the border from there too?

[JimWforBush]

Is she the one who put the Pro-Kyoto bumper sticker on the shuttle.

Commander Eileen Collins said astronauts on shuttle Discovery had seen widespread environmental destruction on Earth and warned on Thursday that greater care was needed to protect natural resources.

Let's get Commander Collins safely back to Earth and then remind her that politics are for the politicians.

"We would like to see, from the astronauts' point of view, people take good care of the Earth and replace the resources that have been used," said Collins...

Huh?

And just how does this idiot propose that we replace the resources we have supposedly "used"?

And this is what we send into space???

"Sometimes you can see how there is erosion, and you can see how there is deforestation. It's very widespread in some parts of the world," Collins said in a conversation from space with Japanese officials in Tokyo...

Yup, she's a moron. What she means is, "When I look down, I can easily see that some spots are brown, and some spots are bumpy."

[billnaz]

I'm waiting for the part where they tell us that it's all Bush's fault.

[Sam Cree]

"you can see how there is deforestation"

The US, OTOH, has largely been reforested.

Someday I would like to start up a vast array of factories.

Our only product?

Pollution.

24/7/365, my marvelous factories will belch horrible noxious gasses from smokestacks, and PCBs and other carcinogins will be dumped from rusty pipes into pristine rivers. Radiological byproducts will be shipped by the semi-trailer load in leaking barrels, and every morning, my SUV-driving employees will open the spigots on the pressure-tanks filled with greenhouse gasses that have been manufactured overnight.

"Rapicious Industries, Ltd." will someday exist, and I will be it's president.
