NASA Ponders Postponing Launch until July
BitFluid writes "According to Sun-Sentinel.com, NASA is considering postponing its Return to Flight shuttle launch because of 'ongoing concern about possible ice buildup on a liquid oxygen propellant line.' Apparently, that stuff turns into debris on launch, a risk they need time to investigate. If delayed, the target launch window becomes July 13 through July 31."
One serious mishap and they'd have one hell of a Roman candle.
"OH SHIT, THERE'S A HORSE IN THE HOSPITAL!"
Everytime you breathe, god kills a kitten.
I think the answer is obvious.
The words "go fuck yourself, you self-righteous, anti-U.S. prick" come to mind.
Yes, flipping hamburgers, so that you all get even more over weight and die, so where do your tax dollars go now? no where cos ur dead, think about it, if NASA can get you all in to space, you wont crush yourselves from excessive weight.
And yes, I watched super size me last night on C4 [UK] and I was very surprised at what I heard, I knew america was "big" but geez, you guys don't have PE in school, why?? (I realise that some do but that appeared to be a very minor amount).
Anyway, I think perhaps an international space programme, rather than each country having their own, we all contribute tech and cash, launch from somewhere "neutral"...then we all move to mars, and fsck that planet up too
And while there they could get the fuck out of Iraq and use that war money to feed people.
Then again most Americans eat for two people anyway.
International cooperation? Sheeeyeah, right! The French would insist on building TWO remote manipulator arms so that they could surrender to the first aliens that come along. The Dutch and Scandinavians would just move their world-dominant child pornography industry to space. The system of governance on board the "international" space station would collapse every other week but socialists would continue to win the elections time after time anyway.
Europeans are pussies.
