MarkWhittington writes: According to a story in Arutz Sheva, NASA Administrator Charles Bolden and Israel Space Agency Director General Menachem Kidron signed an agreement to further future space cooperation between the two countries. The agreement took place at the International Astronautical Conference taking place in Jerusalem. The agreement restores a previous commitment for space cooperation between the two countries that lapsed in 2005. The current agreement will have a far greater scope than the previous one.

Something about delays, transmission delays maybe, i don't know, but never calls, doesn't write eithuh, no never, and what am I, chopped liveh? He couldn't stay on earth, and take care of his mother, like a good boy, no, he had to go gallavanting all over like a big shot, while I sit here, no one to take care of me... Not like my husband, Mortimer. Mortimer! MORTIMER! BRING ME MY TEA!<end tone>
