JPL Begins Commercialization
An anonymous reader writes "JPL has always been concerned with how their work has benefitted society and the Earth as a whole. Everything from developing tools to study what causes El Nino/La Nina to helping find sources of pollution in our environment. In an effort to continue their work while decreasing their burden on NASA's budget, JPL will introduce the JPL Commercialization Center. This means they will begin developing relationships with commercial entities to adapt their technologies for public use. The public benefit is two-fold since licensing fees will help ease NASA and taxpayer burden and life-enchancing technologies will be put into public use."
This is the first step toward the revitalization of the space program.

Do you honestly think Uncle Sam won't happily appropriate whatever funds are left over into something else? (Like pr0n delivered daily to Gee Dubyas office ... by naked women ... wearing earmuffs ... and toting apple pies ... with beef jerky ... ummmm, beeef jerrky)
>>>>>
Umm, Bill Clinton is no longer in office.
^^^^^^^^^^^
The irony of posting something with a topic like that on slashdot is *so* ironic, though....
Riiiight....
make that a pound of coke delivered daily.
ummmmm, carbonated goodness.
I'll head right over there and see if I can talk to old georgy. Before this try, I've only made it to the VP
questionary: (noun) A questionnaire.
I see you're a graduate of one of our prestigious state universities.

I like poo.
>so why would the average slashdot reader care?
Simple -- they invented beowulf cluster, and researched "Star Wars" missile defense stuff. Since Natalie Portman was in Star Wars, all NASA stuff counts double for all slashdot readers. There is also a "science" topic on slashdot, so maybe NASA counts as two and a half. I dunno.
So, while you imagine a beowulf cluster of petrified Natalie Portmen, just think NASA. Oh, and astronauts eat hot grits. They do, really. And, Homer joined NASA, so NASA gets credit for being on the Simpsons. Like, WTF more could you want?
At the very top are politicians. Are they all as smart as this guy?

I used to work pizza myself. I would drive the pizzas, and one time this old black guy gave me a blunt as a tip. That was fuckin' awesome!
Then there was this time my coworker showed me a bunch of heroin, and told me his wife had just "got sewed up" from giving birth to their new son, and that they were gonna shoot up and fuck all night! That shit was awesome!!!

What makes you a retard is that you spouted off and then corrected a typo in a second spout off, and using your +1. Nobody needs to hear your mindless rant. If you're going to post drivel before even looking at the article, please turn off your +1 bonus, dude. Some of us read at +2 for a reason.
please?
You should show more respect when responding to George Bush.
