Discovery Lands in Florida

duh P3rf3ss3r writes "As reported by the BBC, the space shuttle Discovery safely landed at Kennedy Space Center in Florida at 2232 GMT. Discovery's 13-day mission is being called a success after astronauts undertook four space walks to install new wiring and to do battle with a recalcitrant solar panel. The next scheduled flight is the Atlantis shuttle in March. A video chronicle of the mission, including the landing, is available at NASA's video gallery."

    Nice to see the shuttle was full of affirmative action hires... I'm sure most white people will be taken in and believe that blacks have a hope in hell of ever putting their OWN shuttle into space... NOT.

    I expect NASA's workforce is about 99% white (or at least, it was before affirmative action - i.e. anti-WHITE hiring practices came into being...)
    America has about fifty years left and then it will be just another third world shit hole, caused by all the losers (i.e. non-whites) who are streaming into it every year, breeding like rabbits, and destroying the place... Mexicans, Haitians, Africans, Arabs, Indians... However did the white Americans manage until now without all this 'enrichment'?

    The time to do something about it is NOW, because these 'equal' people won't give US any 'tolerance', even though they expect us to 'tolerate' them...

    Why is legitimate criticism of the futility of permitting NASA to continue leading the vanguard of spaceflight modded as a troll?

    Because you obviously do not understand the complexity and (gasp) dangers still present in space flight. When Columbia burned up, remember the cries for a moratorium on manned space travel? The tortoise won the race, while the hare died in a fire.

    How come YOU aren't leading the charge into spaceflight, if its so easy?
