John Carmack To Cut Space Tourism Prices 50%

An anonymous reader writes "Looks like John Carmack, through Armadillo Aerospace, will be battling Burt Rutan and Richard Branson to make space travel affordable. From the article: 'Space Adventures is going to use an Armadillo Technologies rocket to launch amateur astronauts 62 miles into the sky. Nothing new, except that they will do it at half the price of Virgin Galactic's ticket, and in a real rocket!' Perhaps I'll visit space, after all."

    As soon as it gets even remotely popular, the Government will step and tax and regulate it, and the prices will rise from there.

    Actually, no, it looks like you've just had a rash of shitty misogynistic opinions lately. Hey, maybe they make hormone therapy for that!

    He wasn't. U.S. just desperately needed something for its propaganda campaign to counter Gagarin's flight, and sooner rather than later - it couldn't admit that it was lagging that far behind.

  5. Hah, I'm a self-circumcised anti-jew. 3hours hurrr by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll

    You see, when jews circumcise their goyim they try to hit as many nerves as possible. Regular Talmud jews usually just nibble an infant's gland-sheath just for the sanctity of how those pederasts did it back in Babylon. Keep those rabbies away from meh.

    I'm an anti-jew, meaning it was my wife that circumcised me and boa you better believe that I made her starve over it: I asked her to bite the nerve clear off so when I get an erection I can last for hours without an orgasm and she will be one satisfied lady willing to bring all her girlfriends home to meet the stud that raised the roof of her temple.
