Nothing screams (or bleats) "I'm a sheep" like getting a tatto in 2010. Want to do something more rewarding personally and socially... sponsor a child's education in a third world country. Bring math to another mind.
So let's see what's the global equivalent of the Blue Screen of Death? The Blue Planet Of Death? Dear Mr. Bill Gates please die already you're an imbecile.
Near earth satellites that provide a useful return, fabulous. Commercializing trips into orbit, much more fabulous. Other projects that create value and generate returns, much more faubous
Sending people to Mars at this point totally useless ridiculous waste of money.
we use those resources to send a robot 5,000 feet to do something about deep water oil well malfunctions before we send them 5 million miles to do nothing of benefit for Earth.
The sea floor is a veritable desert compared to the ocean surface. The food chain starts in the first 10' of water, where plankton have access to sunlight.
You may want to check your facts on that one. Just because 95% has not been explored does not mean there's nothing there. In fact on a recent trip to the Natural History Museum they showed videos of rather abundant life on the ocean floor.
Oh please.... Doctors are just not that special - "and at that time they may be the ONLY person in the world qualified to perform that procedure". The reason the US ranks so low in terms of value gained per dollar spent on medical care is because medical professional are overrated.
Sorry but they are just not that special, get over it.
No wonder medical care is so expensive. Is there only one heart surgeon in the world? The whole medical/pharmaceutical industry is long overdue for an enema IMO. Time to democratize medicine.
It's not only a red planet, but a red herring as well.
The U.S. is broke, there''s no end in sight to the deficit spending, most people reading this have a lower chance of collecting the social security they are paying into than getting veggies to sprout on mars.
If the President and others can't find enough to do on this planet then I would suggest starting a private enterprise and use their own capital to fund it - just leave tax payers out of this stupidity.
"why is there so much popular defense for this guy?"
Popular ignorance for this guy would be more accurate. Most do not seem to be familiar with ALL the details, or simply gloss over minor details like this guy was applying his knowledge toward illegal activities.

I hear Massachusetts is in the market for a green dam of their own - Bean Dam maybe. Perhaps they can sell it to MA.

Americans, the new Civilian Casualties.
Clearly this article was not submitted by a "true" Star Wars fan. Use the force dude, use the force.
Watching a launch in person is just about the coolest thing I have ever seen. Will never forget that. Glad I had the good fortune to witness it.
No we don't. We need the government to get involved like Andy Rooney needs another eyebrow!!!
Let innovation take it's course.
What is Google, or Facebook, or pick-your-poison is one of the peers of the P2P?
To patent a Wiener Schnitzel?
Never heard of them before.... until now.

Update - apparently it's not done http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/nation/la-na-oil-spill-20100509,0,1038312.story . The original article wasn't about space development it was about the utterly useless endeavor to put people and equipment on mars.

Burn it I say, ashes to ashes, dust to dust.
There was nothing on that screen that you would not see on any beach outside of the U.S. aside from the black censorship bar covering their tits.
And besides, the more time politicians spend looking at porn the less time they have to fuck up the country.

If the laser is the size of 3 football fields how big does the shark have to be?
At least they haven't banned pilots from joining the mile high club....
Maybe if they served German beer at the Genius Bar this wouldn't be a problem.
