  10. Re: cost up, quality down on Student Loan Debt Has Nearly Tripled (npr.org) · · Score: 4, Informative

    And the reason tuition rates are going up is because of the increase in the money supply in the higher education system, which itself is entirely caused by the increased availability and ease of acquiring of student loans.

    That's a big factor. But you're also overlooking that in the last ~25 years, most states have slashed state funding to state universities.
    So all these students in the "second tier" of the system are getting a double whammy. These kids would mostly be from what used to be the middle class as opposed to most of those going to an ivy league school.

  19. our last greatest hope on No One Knows What To Do With the International Space Station (popsci.com) · · Score: 2
    I say we drop it on Australia again, just to keep the tradition up

    When I first came here, this was all empty space. Everyone said I was daft to build a station in empty space, but I built in all the same, just to show them. It fell down on Canada[1]. So I built a second one. That fell down onto Austrailia[2]. So I built a third. That burned down, fell over, then fell into the Pacific Ocean[3]. But the fourth one stayed up. And that's what you're going to get, Lad, the strongest space station in all of space.
