New NASA Shuttle Program "Doomed To Failure"

Posted by Hemos on from the spending-the-money dept.

Heartbreak writes "In a recent press release, the Space Frontier Foundation warns that NASA's Oribital Space Plane program, its latest initiative to take the load off the aging STS (the 'Space Shuttle'), is essentially doomed before it starts. 'NASA's unbroken string of cancelled vehicle programs' going back 20 years makes it a good bet that OSP will also fail. Is this just really, really, bad luck, or is NASA little more than a multi-billion-dollar jobs program for important U.S. aerospace contractors?"

    I could have. I was faster than you. But then I thought, I didn't read the article, I don't have anything interesting to say, or at the very least a witty joke. So there's no point in advertising to the world what an lame uncreative dork with no life that I am.

    I just thought you could take some comfort in the fact that a similar thought crossed another worthless excuse for a living creature at about the same time as you. You're not alone in this world. There are others out there who are just as pathetic and dumb as you.

    You see that tube (in your case a small tube) between your legs...It's not just for expelling waste. Other humans use it for procreation, more casually referred to as 'sex'. Although you may never have the opportunity to use it in this manner, at least you can always pay for it, but for chrissakes use a condom.
