Shuttle Fleet Upgraded

angel'o'sphere writes "Space.com reports that the shuttle fleet will be upgraded with more technology, like new sensors to detect debris hits on the wings, etc. Also, the foam causing the Columbia accident (intended to insulate the tank and prevent the formation of ice) will be replaced by: heaters. I wonder if heating up a tank with liquid oxygen is a bright idea."

    Hunched over in that uncomfortable chair writing Linux kernel code all day was really tense. Human girls wouldn't come near me, but Yoshi-girl treated me like I was the last man on Earth. Two thumbs up!

    Sure she's not human, but it sure beats all the sleazy Mexican whores I've been with, and believe me, I've been with more than you can count. You go Yoshi!

    You must be able to accept some losses in the name of peace, progress and prosperity.

    Hah, it wasn't for peace, Dubya started a war to get oil and therefore money, damnit. Maybe it wouldn't have benefited the US itself, but it sure made Halliburton & Co. richer. Well, you can count the deaths as losses for prosperity; the Dubya Mafia's prosperity and the loss of lives which don't mean a damn to them. Gotta love the ingenuity.

    People forget, there used to exist a diplomatic way to solve to the problem of Saddam Hussein. He didn't even have fucking WMD! If the diplomatic solution had worked, the inspectors would have eyes all over the place that no way WMD could ever be made, and Saddam's weak position would have caused him to slowly lose power and fall. And in case he thinks he should kill some people who are trying to topple him, the UN could have gone in with less fear of WMD and more support from the common Iraqi.
