"Jules Verne wrote From the Earth to the Moon in the late 1800's"
"hence there *was* reference to the moon prior to 1950"

I just want to make sure I'm clear about that. I think I need to go lay down now...
"They omit the blowing up part from these probes, because that would be bad for the sensors."
Actually, thinking of the decelleration these sensors are going to need to survive, I think they left out the "blowing up" part of the mission because it was redundant!
You know, these terroristical A-rabs just aren't the intimidating foes that the Soviet supermen or the Aryan NAZIs were. I bet Rumsfeld/Cheney/Bush wish the cold war wasn't over!
Yeah, I remember when "The Last One" was released for the Apple II. It was a database program generator with the termerity to claim that it was the last piece of software you'd ever need. It put the whole software industry out of work!
Damn straight, they sell that service to telemarketers. Just like the USPO, the telcos stick it to the little guy to subsidize advertizing routes used by sleazy businesses. YAY for free enterprise! Simple human decency be dammned!

Give us another few thousand years to come up with a plan before writing off the idea.
Typical next-quarter myopic American!

Look's like they've been pilfering evil plans from my filing cabinet again!
"One MILLION dollars!"
I'm sure IBM wouldn't hesitate to put a $100 million bullet in their head if they thought it made good business sense.
"The one thing I could never stand about Santa Cruz all the Goddammned bloodsuckers!"
Looking at the number of contentious responses to this here on slashdot, I'm starting to think that this isn't a very good question!
If the mountain won't come to Shiro,
Shiro must go to the mountain!
Hey, since it's built by a lone guy out in the desert, just be glad it's not called "Salvage One"! (No slight intended to Mr. Rutan)
- The U2
- The SR-71
Which have both been flown for more that thirty years.The guy's bright and has some interesting ideas, but how much real impact has he had (so far?).

If you're checking books on crypto from the library, you're obviously a terrorist and a danger to the status quo!
