NASA Gives Up On Pioneer 10
Soft writes "Another Energizer Bunny has finally given out: Pioneer 10's generators have decayed to the point that DSN can no longer detect the probe's signals. It was the first spacecraft to penetrate the asteroid belt (1972) and fly by Jupiter (1973). So long and thanks for all the pic's..."
This has got to be the gayest fucking post ever on slashdot. Good thing it's not here now, I'd expect to see you trying to stick your dick into it. You do realize that Pioneer 10 is an inanimate object and doesn't have feelings, don't you? Much like your mom whilst I rape her.
- Pioneer 10 was sent out in the same spirit as the pioneers of early America
Riiiiight... I just hope that P10 hasn't been treating the folks out on Pluto the same way that our forebearers wiped out the people who were already living in that seemingly boundless spaceI'm sorry, I've never said this before on Slashdot (and I've been around a while) but your post is just plain insensitive.
There comes a time in every man's life when he must say, "No mother! I do not want any more Jell-O!"
Asshat, P10 IS NOT A SATELLITE!
Lameness filter encountered. Post aborted!
Reason: Don't use so many caps. It's like YELLING.
Yeah, I *felt* like yelling! Fucking kids!
So did I, but there's really no moronic place to put an apostrophe in that sentence. "fi'sh"?
Am I the only one who heard Roxette to sing "I'm gonna get blitzed for some sex"?
The parent poster is an idiot.
NASA is still populated by hardcore, kick ass engineers.
They still succeed spectacularly left and right. Many people here only notice the failures, though.
Abortion and feminism are nothing to be proud of... I feel kinda sorry for the world if things keep going in that direction.
I stopped reading at "patriotic".
Because your an ignorant fuckin traitor!
we understand
African Americans have also had great impact in our society, wether you like it or not, and they are not just in the fields of humanities.
I know they have. The problem is, that "impact" hasn't necessarily been positive. Whether you like it or not.
All because of research conducted during wartime (WWII, Korea, and then the Cold War). Think about that next time the anti-war hippies try to convince you that war is bad. War has led to a lot more inventions than space travel (jets, rockets, even the reason to go to the moon were all based on war).
That's why it is imperative that we overthrow Saddam Hussein through military force. Who knows what kind of goodies we will be testing in Gulf War II? It could be the next GPS system or a new cooking technology for campers. The guidance system used on our smartbombs may someday be used to cure cancer. Teddy Roosevelt had a dream of American dominance in the world around the same time the Wright brothers were flying in Kitty Hawk and we should NOT feel ashamed to accomplish that.
The world shall tremble under our righteous might. If you don't stand with us, then you stand against us. God bless the United States of America.
Anyway kids, that is the reason why we must wage war. War is good as long as it is a just and righteous war like the war against the atheists and Muslims. By the way, go ahead and mod me down, you fucking know I'm right. Without the Cold War we would NOT have gone to the moon nor would we have even thought of sending men into space on those flying deathtraps. We would be a half century behind in technology than we are now!
The silent majority consider those steps backwards our society has taken. Abortion certainly isn't something to be proud of considering it is basically baby killing. Radical feminism is a pain in everyone's ass and it's just a platform for dykes to voice their loudmouthed bullshit opinions on baby killing. As for the faggots living openly.. they really shouldn't. I propose a law that lets us kill them for being so god damn queer in public. I don't want to see two faggot men holding hands and kissing in front of my children damnit. It's deviant behavior and should not be tolerated. These are things that have been part of human culture for thousands of years and you think 20 years is going to change anything? Believe me, we'll be back to killing niggers and faggots in 20 years.
Admiral Grace Hopper. Probably one of the first affirmative action cases in the history of the United States. How does a woman progress to the rank of Admiral in this man's Navy? She doesn't unless she's fucking someone higher up the food chain. Plus, she brought us Cobol for christ's sake!!! COBOL! FUCK YOU HOPPER!
