In Leaked Email, NASA Chief Vents On Shuttle Program's End
jerryasher writes "In a leaked memo, NASA Administrator Mike Griffin discusses 'the jihad' to prematurely terminate the Shuttle and what that means for the International Space Station. One implication: there may come a long interval when only our Russian Allies are aboard the Space Station. Add that bit of irony to your new cold war kit and then wonder why Griffin discusses why we wouldn't sabotage the Space Station, and how and why the memo got leaked in the first place."
I was going to post something about the importance of anonymity but then I saw a comment above yours by AC which just had the word "fag" in it. And suddenly I didnt have the heart anymore.
And get something new and awesomer in the skies to replace it.
Something that could get people going wow again would be nice.
I would also like a pony.
I think the leaked email was a warning that NASA/Gov't could secretly sabotate the ISS, but I'm not sure to whom.
Was it to Putin's government to get them back in line?
To congressman who oppose allowing us to buy seats on Russian craft?
To Obama or McCain warning them that to fail to back NASA can be used against them in the election?
To Alex Krycek, who is rumored to be an ISS visitor in 2009?
To the black oil alien hybrids that we can and will take down the ISS if we need to?
To PepsiCo/Fritolay that we can and will take down the ISS if we need to?
It is a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma, sent in an email, read on a blog, noticed on twitter.
The Russians are reliable as long as we pay them to be.
Right. Why does the US even need its own fleet of ICBMs. They could just pay the Russians or Chinese to provide and outsourced deterrent facility.

Yes, the Russians call the booster 'Soyuz' and the capsule 'Soyuz'.
Soyuz say.
When information is power, privacy is freedom.
"Vents On Shuttle Program's End" - That just sounds so wrong.

I hate apple pie and will do my best to censor any talk about it!
Nobody wants to censor talk about mom and apple pie.
I'm allergic to apples, you insensitive clod!
I'd rather no-one mentioned those unfortunate fruits.
It's called the *International* Space Station for a reason.
Besides, would we really want to call it the ASS?
Yes. That's an unreserved YES!
Me too, unless the uniform included a red shirt.

I'd suggest that you spend a few days walking around calling every woman you see "cum dumpster" (to her face) including your time at work
Free speech != freedom from the consequences of that speech.
This happened to me last week. Here I was, minding my own business calling some women cum dumpsters at the office, when my boss charges in and fires me. Then some random woman in the street starts slapping me about just because I gave her a colorful nickname.
I have since then hired a lawyer, and am now suing the government for allowing such a dangerous thing as this "freedom of speech" to exist. My lawyer said I could get somewhere close to 2 million, but unfortunatly the judge didn't approve when I called her "Your honorable cum dumpster".
Damn. Sorry, I obviously had a McCain moment.
