They have been sending up [probably] billions of rockets for how long?
Why has it taken this long to bring one back down?
There is a third alternative: A rocket which never leaves the ground.
Just think of all the money and potential lives saved.
What have rockets [missiles] done to the human psyche over the last 3/4 century?
M.A.D. in the hands of a random patient in the grandiose, human asylum?
It's no wonder escapism [in one way or another] is normal behaviour.
Space travel is just another form of escapism.
Just another means of slipping though the bars of the asylum.
But only in the warped human imagination.
The same lunatics trade one cell, for another even less desirable.
I blame the parents. ;-)

It gives humanity a hope to go and live some where else in the universe, but there will be no Indians to steal from or enslave this time.

God bless the meek, because they shell see GOD!
Jesus

Yes, only the strong will leave earth, meek will stay with a polluted, ruined earth, but survive.

The meek have certainly been enjoying life since they inherited the Earth.
Having 1/12,000,000,000 each of the Earth's resources seems quite enough for some.
Though many no doubt wished they could have the 1/12,000,000,000 which they were supposedly promised by the imaginary, ******* child who left no written record.
1% own as much as all the other 6 billion meek souls put together but it is never enough for them.
If the 1% left in a rocket, would we really be any worse off?
We'd then each have 1/6,000,000,000 of the Earth's resources which is a doubling of wealth overnight.
Don't spend it all at once! ;-))

Repealing general relativity, are we?

but there will be no Indians to steal from or enslave this time.


If we got where ever it is your fevered imagination tells you we are
going, which we are not going to do, but if we did, how do you know
there wouldn't be primitive sentient beings there just begging for
abuse? For their own good they should dwell only in impenetrable swamps
or perhaps on the slopes of active volcanoes, where they breathe
noxious fumes.

God bless the meek, because they shell see GOD!
Jesus


Jesus couldn't have said that because he knew how to spell "shall" and
he didn't use exclamation points (no punctuation in Aramaic or Hebrew).
And scholars dismiss the notion that the Sermon on the Mount was s
historical event. Some other Jewish guy wrote that.

Yes, only the strong will leave earth, meek will stay with a polluted, ruined earth, but survive.


You need to stop snorting that stuff before your brain and your septum
are completely destroyed.

Easily the funniest passage I ever read where even poor Isaac gets the third degree -

"This view is not in harmony with the theory of Newton. The latter theory rather requires that the universe should have a kind of centre in which the density of the stars is a maximum, and that as we proceed outwards from this centre the group-density of the stars should diminish, until finally, at great distances, it is succeeded by an infinite region of emptiness. The stellar universe ought to be a finite island in the infinite ocean of space.
This conception is in itself not very satisfactory. It is still less satisfactory because it leads to the result that the light emitted by the stars and also individual stars of the stellar system are perpetually passing out into infinite space, never to return, and without ever again coming into interaction with other objects of nature. Such a finite material universe would be destined to become gradually but systematically impoverished." Einstein, 1920

http://www.bartleby.com/173/30.html

That stuff is so hilarious that I left the relativity forum when I came across it.

As for poor Isaac, the closest he came to leaving the solar system and comment on the other stars is so -

"And since these stars are liable to no sensible parallax from the
annual motion of the earth, they can have no force, because of their
immense distance, to produce any sensible effect in our system. Not to
mention that the fixed stars, every where promiscuously dispersed in
the heavens, by their contrary actions destroy their
mutual actions" Prop. LXX, Book I." Newton

General relativity indeed, more like general mayhem.

Talking of "the meek" I see the Trumpet@Twit has just been shot dead by a policeman [of colour] for having a broken tail light on his presidential limo. It is claimed Trumpet@Twit made a move to check his wallet as he ran away which caused the policeman to fear for his life. Trumpet@Twit was shot several times in the back but thankfully his priceless designer wallet escaped unscathed.

Allegedly His bodyguards pleaded with the policeman to continue shooting but there was a slight delay as he reloaded several clips. This is already the cause of much discussion on The Dark Paranoid Web. With conspiracy theorists claiming it was a professional "hit" using North Korean rocket launchers and a whole fleet of Israeli helicopter gunships.

Putin has offered to step in as Interim US President until another bitter and divisive election can be held under the auspices of the [closet Republican] FBI boss. Russian involvement is guaranteed by Julianne "Wikievski" Assange.

Meanwhile Assange is claimed to want a sex change operation to avoid prosecution as a man in Sweden. His long grey-blond hair should fit his new image well after decades of incarceration in a dank Venezuelan dungeon at their London Embassy.

Thanks for the correction, but one dank, South American dungeon is as good as another. ;-)

Unless you are a screaming hypocrite, like Leonardo DiCaprio.
