Default NASA Fails Again

A NASA missile designed to rendezvous with a pentagon satellite fell
short of its goal today. Heard something about a fuel problem. Could
someone at NASA have forgotten to top off its tank?

They say the mission was meant to develop unmanned docking
capabilities. But do you suppose the real purpose is to develop a
satellite-killing missile?

Quite frankly, countries like Iran would have much more to gain by
developing such a technology, if you get my drift.

Seeems like the new fangled auto-bot is a bit ~w~o~b~b~l~y~ and hence
overly heavy on the gas pedal.

What's up with Twittering, DA? ... I'm a bit worried.

I think she's sick, and won't go to the doctor, and doesn't want any
advice.

Apparently the Russians have been using such technology for a long time,
ESA and Japan planning the same it seems

I can remember Russia working on killer satellite technology years ago,
before they signed the treaty against militarizing space. Nowadays
they have to be more sneaky about developing such technologies.

Hi Double-A All you have to do is put BB shot in space. By doing this,
terrorist that have no hope of going into space can screw things up for
the rest of the world for thousands of years.. They only need money
to buy a few rockets from Russia,China,and N. Korea With gas going up
to $3,50 they have the bucks. Bert
