Why not send real ants? Train them to get their space-walk on and shoot them up there. I'm telling you, ants are smarter than you think. They are plotting against us I tell you!
The way to make the most progress in any field is always through war or the possibility of making money (just like this thing we call the internet). If it draws more attention to the space program, and thus more funding, I'm all for it.
C'mon, be rational here. The guy annoys a few people and you want to throw him in the slammer next to rapists and murders for 7 years? I say slap him with a big fine and some community service at the very most. Anything else is barbaric and absurd.
Finally, a wrench thrown in the works of this machine we call Travolta!
At any rate Battlefield Earth deterred John Travolta from becoming our token all-powerful furor - an inevitable consequence of the glorification he has received in recent years combined with the grotesque appreciation some people still have for bad big-fat-Italian-guy disco (note: though some will argue he wasn't really fat back then, he was Italian). Imagine, a world completely ruled by Travolta. Endless greasy-haired gangster impersonations, L. Ron Hubbard worship, not to mention leisure suits as far as the eye can see. Just think of a utopia in which we were all transformed into earnest, Herman-Munster-like automatons bent on finding the ultimate 'tune' in which to shake our proverbial 'groove-things' to.
There you have it my friends, Battlefield Earth was a success! If you still don't think so, I'm sure the good Scientology people will be happy to enlighten you in regard to this matter for a small fee, or provide several years of unrelenting harassment at no charge.

Another sign that the end is near!
