Senate Bill Adds Shuttle Flight, New Shuttle-Derived Vehicle
simonbp writes "The Senate Commerce Committee this morning marked up a compromise NASA Authorization Act that rolls back some of Obama's plans for NASA, while keeping others. The bill adds at least one more shuttle flight, keeps Obama's technology demonstrators and commercial access to ISS (albeit at reduced funding), restores the Orion crew capsule, and replaces the Ares rockets with a Shuttle-Derived 'Space Launch System' for going to the ISS and Beyond, which could be ready as soon as 2015."
A am a Fish
A month later the Attleboro Moon website appears, courtsey of all the attled people pissed at the newsPAPER acting like such a dick.
This website has local classified, blog spots where people can write to, local historical information (and there's a lot in a town 20 miles away from where the Pilgrims landed), grocery store ads, lost dog and cat pleas for help, road closure updates, legal notices, and, if they're really lucky, a MILF exchange.
Basically what the newspaper is supposed to be doing. With a 25 cents per posted message fee (1 word or a book length submission, all 25 cents a message), where you can pay in $10 or $25 dollar blocks through PayPal.
Newspaper people are complete lame-o's. They have been for the past twenty years. The bigger the paper, the bigger the fools running it.
Has anyone noticed that the towns that right next to each other in New England (like Attleboro and Taunton and Brighton) are on completely opposite ends of the country in merry-old-England? Tell people in England that you grew up in New England and rode your bicycle every day between Taunton and Attleboro and watch their mouths drop.
