  1. Re:Blind Joke on Three Blind Phreaks · · Score: 1

    This blind man walks into a convience store with his seeing eye dog. The clerk, seeing that the man was blind, asks if he needs any help in finding anything. The blind man simply replies, No. The clerk had some work to do in the back so he tells the blind man he will be back shortly. When the clerk returns, the blind man is swinging the dog by his leash overtop of him. The shocked clerk asks, What are you doing?! The blind man replies, Just taking a look around.

    Yes money does go to the engineerining and design. But they also build these landers in extremely clean environments. There can be absolutly no bacteria or microbes of any sort. The rovers are swabbed constantly and tested for any sort of bacteria. Also the rooms they build them in are cleaned often. So its much more expensive then just throwing some high tech gadgets on some RC Racer bought from radio shack.

    No his claim is founded. Sorry I didn't provide a link. But the BBC reported the same thing. The original balloons failed and due to those dang Europeans being those cheap bastards we know they are, they decided not to give anymore money to the project. So the replacements went untested.

    Logically it makes sense, Why spend an extra 1 billion to ensure they have a working probe, when they could just instead, waste the 50 billion already spent and send the POS untested?? ( those numbers are most likely wrong...just making a point..)

    The said truth is.
    With brain surgery you only kill one person.

    Rocket science. You calculate this correctly...Tens of millions of people will die. Ie nuclear weapon targeting system. And on the flip side, you calculate it wrong, and guess what...Tens of millions of people will die once again. I've taken multiple calc courses, and believe me, I'd rather be a brain surgeon
