Katrina Delays Shuttle
guildsolutions writes "The scoop on MSNBC has it that NASA will not fly again until next fall. With NASA's reluctance to get back into space, and Hubble dying, We just wonder when private industry will put NASA out of the game."
Beyond the highly-visible impacts of damaged facilities and scattered workers...
Efforts continue to rehouse space workers from the Michoud plant that produced the disposable thirty-ton external fuel tanks used for shuttle launches. An estimated half of them are now homeless, and many have been relocated to temporary lodging near NASA facilities in Houston, Huntsville, Ala., and Cape Canaveral, Fla..
Sounds like they were attacked by Klingons or something
All available foam-coating engineers have been reassigned to the Superdome.

Nah ... Katrina was doing all the blamming.
The higher the technology, the sharper that two-edged sword.
No, that's just more leftwing spin, trying to make NASA look out of touch. In fact, the Shuttle has been deployed to rescue survivors of hurricane Katrina. Bush's FEMA assures the Gulf Coast that help is on the way, ASAP. We'll have that Shuttle right over - in Fall 2006, just in time for the Congressional elections. Otherwise, enough Democrats might get elected to the House to impeach Bush, and then where would our faith-based space program be, without its greatest champion?

Celery baby?
How about a space telescope that looks in on high rise apartments? Sell time slots, seed a few apartments with hot women that don't believe in blinds.

Since you have "nASA" in there twice (2^4 = 16 possibilities) and the original poster used 3 different capitalisations (nasa, NASA and Nasa), the correct answer is 13 more. No wonder you posted AC.
