Shuttle Surface More Vulnerable Than Suspected

Ant writes "The space shuttle's skin is turning out to be even more fragile than NASA engineers thought, its scientists and engineers say. Impact tests and analysis performed as part of the return-to-flight effort show that pieces of insulating foam that weigh less than half an ounce can cause small cracks and damage to the surface coating on the heat-resistant panels on the leading edge of the wing, agency officials said in interviews this week."

You are more than welcome to give all your money to NASA if that is what you want to do.

I resent that you think it's ok to hold a gun to my head, taking my money to pay for something merely because you approve of it. Were I to do the same, you would object and call it "theft". Hypocrite.

Taxation is a perfect example of the ends justifying the means.

Liar? Fool? Con artist? I am all three. And, I just shot a load of cum in your wife's eye. NOW who is the fool?

As far as what I do with my time... it may take YOU three days to come up with your "witty" replies, but it seriously takes me 3 seconds to reply to you.

Cock suck. Pay your taxes, bitch. You're going to need the welfare system to prop you up when the roof on your trailer caves in and wipes out your savings.

You can't even avoid a troll, so why should anyone believe your macho talk that you don't need welfare and the government is stealing your money from you. Boo Hoo, suck it up, loser.
