NASA Plans Probe to the Sun

FudRucker writes "For more than 400 years, astronomers have studied the sun from afar. Now NASA has decided to go there. 'We are going to visit a living, breathing star for the first time,' says program scientist Lika Guhathakurta of NASA Headquarters. 'This is an unexplored region of the solar system and the possibilities for discovery are off the charts.'"

Well the Earth IS "dead" stardust, and so are you!

Not to inject off-topic facts into this discussion, (ok, I can't resist it) but Corona is one of the worst beers ever.

You see, there are three major things (aside from frat boys) which ruin beer: heat, (not too hard to work around) oxygen, and light.

Corona is in a clear bottle in a low six-pack, with a twist-top. The twist-top is far worse at sealing out oxygen, the low cardboard lets in more light, and the clear bottle lets in even more.

How do you fix these problems? Jack it full of preservatives, and then market the culture of the beer to revolve around adding some citric acid to hide that shitty taste. Compare Corona against a well crafted, all natural ale, and most people can taste the shite in it. For instance, try really seriously comparing Corona against a good Belgian white ale. The taste difference is amazing.

God I've turned into a beer snob. Hand-crafted Belgian ales ftw.
