Get the Family Dog Cloned
Anonymous writes "Some of you may have seen 'The 6th Day,' the movie with Arnold Schwarzenegger a few years back. If you recall there was a 're-pet' cloning service to get your dog back if you ever lost them. Enter 'Best Friends Again': 'A US biotech company on Wednesday announced it will auction off the right for five dog owners to have their furry best friend cloned, with bidding starting at 100,000 dollars. "BioArts International ... will sell five dog cloning service slots to the general public via a worldwide online auction," the California-based biotech start-up said in a statement.'"
WYSIWAG... puppy and paste...
The last time we landed someone on the moon was in 1972. That's 36 years ago. The next planned possible date that I've heard tossed around for the next manned moon landing is 2018, 46 years after the previous one. I wonder if it's worth anybody's time and money to even send someone there right now. Originally, we did it, because it was there, and because nobody had done it previously. We did it to prove to ourselves that it could be done. Now that it's been done, what reason is there for going there now? Does NASA or any other space agency have anything that could land us on the moon in the next 2-3 years? Or will it take another Apollo-like project to get us back up there. I doubt the US government would be willing to fund something like that again.
