Hubble Future Is Cloudier After Katrina

XorNand writes "The AP is reporting that Katrina has further jeopardized the already tenuous future of the Hubble space telescope. The hurricane damaged the Michoud Assembly Facility in New Orleans, where the shuttle's fuel tanks are built, and the Mississippi-based Stennis Space Center, where shuttle engines are tested, NASA officials said."

  5. STOP the ILLEGAL WAR! by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Stop the illegal war!

    The US PROPAGANDA MACHINE has done an excellent job at controlling public anger against the unjust Iraq war, in TOTAL contrast to the VIETNAM WAR.

    The Vietnam war ended when the PUBLIC started protesting not at a DEAF government, but the people fighting the war (the NATIONAL GUARD). Having anger against the millitary helps ensure that reserves are down, and no PROFITTERING wars will HAPPEN in the short term.

    A HATE CAMPAIGN needs to start against those who are willing to fight in an UNJUST WAR. However, this needs to be done in a NON-VIOLENT way.

    Other nations (such as CHINA and RUSSIA) should CONDEMN this illegal war, and help out with propaganda AGAINST the US.

    PROTEST against Millitary recruitment, and the armed forces.

    DONT LISTEN to their propaganda about needing a STRONG ARMED FORCE. Force isn't needed when you HAVE NO ENIMIES
