It's not "whining." It's stating of a fact to point out how nonsensical your argument is. A business that whines about not getting money is a failure waiting to happen. Nobody is "whining." I was simply *explaining* that it's nonsensical to claim that NASA is better at doing something than someone else, when that someone else hasn't been provided with any funding with which to do it. If they had been given the money, and developed a bad track record, then you'd have a point, but since that's not reality, it's nonsensical. The only thing that NASA has shown itself to be "better" at so far is getting large amounts of taxpayer dollars. We won't know if it's "better" at anything else until someone else finds funding from some source, and actually does some spaceflight with it, and we have an actual basis of comparison. Well we had better hope that the private sector does things better than NASA or we'll never have commercial spaceflight. Period. |

I never would. When it comes to spouting idiocy, your output is prodigious. I wouldn't be proud of it, though. Nor shall I be ashamed of it simply for you to use it against me. You're no team player, Simberg. You work alone for a reason. I don't work alone, you moron. Perhaps it is as George Thorogood says, "I drink alone, yeah, me and nobody else..." What I'd pay to hear the feedback from your co-workers about you. Priceless I bet. |

I think that Dave Michelson made nine, but it may only be eight. |
