as to indicate that:

NASA was worth every penny spent. If somehow we could have tied fusion
to NASA, we would have abundant cheap energy today.

That's nuts. We don't have cheap abundant spaceflight, after all the
billions that NASA's been given. Why should we think they'd deliver
cheap abundant anything, let alone fusion energy?

The drug trade in the US, as elsewhere, is controlled by the
establishment for profit. There is no interest on their part to cure
anyone because that would cut into future cash flows. Prisons are
filled with the competition, a primitive but effective way to control
the market.

You should read your own posts, Bob:

"BTW I once proposed the Great Harlem Crack Drop. The proposal was to
drop enough crack on Harlem (or the black nbhd of your choice) to be at
least ankle deep. The wait a week. The silence would deafen one."

The fact that you say "the black nbhd of your choice" and that the "silence
would deafen one" belies your statement that this is not racist.

"This is not racist" ranks right up there with "this is not spam." Just
feeling like you have to make the disclaimer means you already know it's not
true.

Given NASA's technical ability, I doubt it very much. They are a bunch
of ****-ups.

So is Darwinism, but that doesn't stop people from believing in it.

And even more. They -lied- to their test pilots. The
calculated the probability of fatal mishap in the STS program a hundreds
to one. It is more like twentyfive to one. Storey Musgrave, the smartest
astronaut who ever lived talked about this distortion of the odds in an
interview. He knew NASA management was lying through their teeth.

Just like the owners of the World Trade Center lied to its tenants
about the safety of their buildings.

The biggest liar of all is the federal govt. If I as a private
businessman running a major US corporation told you that after having
paid a lifetime worth of annuity premiums your benefits were going to
be denied for an additional year or more, you would scream to the
highest heaven around. You would demand that I be put in prison like
the people who ran Enron.

Yet when the federal govt does it to you, there's not even a wimper.

It is thirty five years since a footprint was placed on the moon. What
do we have to show for it? ISS Alpha ****can One. The NASA manned
program has been a disaster from the git-go.

ISS is the CIC for launching nukes. They send them up from the ground
and then ISS takes over. They can thread a 50 megaton nuke up Abdul's
ass if he gets too uppity.

President Lyndon B. Johnson - March 31, 1968

Let's play a little Jeopardy

Answer: March 31, 1968

Question: By what date did LBJ realize he couldn't possibly be reelected?

The why wasn't his VP (Humphrey) similiarly tainted? Humphrey only
lost to Nixon by less than 1% of the popular vote.

That is indeed the assumption your joke seems to convey.

Johnson was eligible for reelection in 1968 (he had served less than two
years of JFK's term) but chose not to run. See
http://www.usconstitution.net/const.html#Am22


Yes, he chose not to run because he knew he couldn't win.

Are you sure it wasn't health issues? He died the week his second full
term would have ended. Perhaps he didn't want to risk America losing
two sitting Presidents in a row.

*However*, at the time of its creation, Project Apollo was *not* a project

chosen to be the moon ship.

Kennedy didn't announce that NASA would build a new spaceship, but he *did*
announce the trip to the moon. NASA chose to adapt an existing project into
the new one, so Kennedy *is* responsible for getting us to the moon.


So, are we ready for a 1000 message debate on whether Apollo was a
"program" or a "project"?
