NASA Considers Privatizing Space Shuttles

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the not-sure-how-i-feel-about-that dept.

panopticon was among the many who submitted a BBC story talking about NASA considering privatizing the space shuttles as a cost saving measure since those pesky shuttles cost $400M every time we throw one up into orbit. The article really doesn't say much beyond that.

    "NASA Is Considers Privatizing the Space Shuttle".

    How about "Slashdot Is Considers an EDITOR".

    Or "All Your Grammar Are Not Belong to Slashdot".

      Which brings up a question. Does SlashTeam have an easy way of changing the title of a submission after it's already been entered into the database? Or, even if they did, would they not do it, because then all the posts about the mistake wouldn't make sense?

    I'm starting to think that the fast world of internet content is developing it's own grammar ruleset.
    It has only one rule: "If it's understandable, it's ok"

    You go to WPI? I have a few friends there. They're all sex-starved geeks. I think in all the time's I've been on campus I've seen 2 girls. Those girls looked like Pat from the SNL skits. What do you guys do for sex, besides eachother up the ass?
