If sending one shuttle into space is risky, wouldn't sending another shutle up to save the first be just as risky if not more so.
Space travel is inherently risky. People are going to die. Its just a fact of life.
Unfortunatly we have allowed NASA to become bloated by oversight that demands results, punishes failure, is unwilling to take risks, and when something does inevitably go wrong they are more intersted in assigning blame than solving thier problem.
Isn't this what the Lockheed Martin was doing with the X-33 and the VentureStar. How about getting that project back on track. I don't want to see my taxes pay for more design studies. Put funding back in to the Venture Star X-33 program.
Seems to be pandering to the "no one is ever wrong" crowd.
The beauty of SW was that good and evil were so well defined. The Empire BAD - Rebellion GOOD.
Windows is WAY to expensive. I agree, but I dont see what is wrong with MS wanted to get paid for thier intellectual property.
Buying a copy of XP Pro for personal use is a hardship, but its a one time hardship. Not like buying a car which is what three hundred bucks a month for 60 months,not to mention insurance, or having all the premium channels which is again maybe 150/month, or paying for all those monthly game subscriptions. Which is more of a crime than MS asking for people to actually BUY thier OS if they use it.
This show could have been so much more.
But its hampered by recycled stories, and pandering to the lowest common denominator.
Let Trek die, at least for a few seasons.

There are just certain things you should have the common sense not to do. And directing a laser pointer into the eyes, or in this case cockpit of a plane trying to land is one of them.

Darwin was/is right
There is intelligent life out there, and the will contact us before we find them
When found they will considered infidels by some, heritics by others
Organized religion has held back scientific progress and should be kept out of the arena of public education.
Faith is more important than Religion
The original version of Blade Runner is superior to the Directors Cut and shold be released on DVD
Duke Nukem Forever is NEVER going to be released
Blatz is the finest beer ever produced
and finally,
Whether or we ever find life there, Jupiter should always be considered an enemy planet!
This article had just enough in it to get the "Media" interested. Which means fear-mongering and incorrect information passed down to people who dont know any better.
And then the Net 2 can finially be made.

Cloning techology needs to be developed, but just because something can be dones doesnt mean it should be.
The Humane Society has thousands of animals that need homes. A more rewarding form of Karma would come from rescuing a pet from the Humane Society and then donating the 50,000 Dollars to the HS to care for the unwanted animals.
People like that lady who paid 50k for a cat have more money than sense, and her moral compass needs adjusting.

"Hands-free systems apparently don't help much either as they still require a driver to 'actively be part of a conversation"
Was this tested against the driver and the passenger having a conversation?

It is better to be the hammer than the anvil.
If this becomes standard I will have to remap all my keys for Quake/UT/BF1942...
Whay wont anyone think of the children!!!!
The government REALLY is out to get me.

What is the point of car to car networking other than to have ads pushed, or have people scream at you because you are not moving fast enough.
26000 dollars for an island that doesn't exist.
Can you imagine this fool trying to impress someone with this purchase?
Once the woman finds out its in a make-believe world, and you spent real dollars on this you will never get laid.
In order for alternative energy sources to really take off we need to put the smack down on the NIMBYs.
Mr. Gates should pick this up, and begin selling Microsoft Brand PCs.
