We forgot something

That of course being the "Most Valuable Space Newsgroup Contributor Of
The Year Award".
And we know why we forgot it also.
Because, let's face it, it's inevitably you-know-who.
Yes, the prize is now known as the Rusty Barton Award.
Although I'd like to establish the "William Mook Award" for the "Where
The Hell Did That Idea Come From?" category. This award to be delivered
via a GPS guided, laser powered, flying lunchbox that sneaks up on you
from behind due to its soundless rocket engines.
Mr. Mook, here's one to you on Christmas day.
If "thinking outside the box" is a virtue, you're not only succeeding in
doing that, you're somewhere in the middle of the next block.
"Let's Terraform The Sun" ....my God, the very _grandeur_ of the
conception. :-) :-) :-)

The Mook rocket powered intercontinental pizza and coffee delivery
system was fairly ingenious too. That would really help us out a lot,
after the next category 5 hurricane slices through the central Bahamas.

Who could forget the Amish Nuclear Reactor? A wagon hitch on top of the
cast iron reactor vessel allowed a team of plough horses to move the
control rods. The worlds first atomic powered blacksmith shoppe.

I always thought Heisenberg's heavy water filled cauldron reactor looked
like something that should show up in a Wagner opera, probably with Loki
singing a aria over it. :-)

....The year isn't over yet, Patrick. This year, I think it's a tossup
between Rusty's PDF fetish, and Rand finally putting Chumpko in his
killfile.

Only here; he's still arguing with him over on sci.space.policy.
Did NASA ever get their PDFs up and running again, or are they gone forever?

Not much. But it was always only an s.s.h. deal.

Do you have any idea the funding boost that NASA could get if it could
prove there's life on Mars?
They'd be flying probes all over the thing.
Far from trying to cover it up, they're frantically looking for any hint
of it, down to the point of immediately deciding those liquid flows in
the crater are water, and not the far more likely liquid CO2.
Because a lifeless Mars is a boring Mars, and you don't get funding to
explore boring places.

Naw, you flip-flopping between brown-noser and plonker is clearly the
most legendary...
