NASA understatement of the year

Our ancesters weren't such wimps or most of the posters to this forum wouldn't be posting from where they are now; why are we so risk adverse? It's not so much the risk that's the limiting factor as that to do significant manned space exploration we'll need Orion or one of the other nuclear engine designs. I'd suggest lobbying your local politician for that. -- "Sore wa himitsu desu." To reply by email, remove the small snack from address. http://www.esatclear.ie/~rwallace |

But seriously; He's gotta be one of s.a.a.'s most enduring curmudgeons. If ya don't like what he has to say, you're welcome not to read it. FWIW, I used to get irate with Rich, but he's actually mellowed a bit in recent years. It's all just fun 'n' games around here, eh? Cheers, Clive. |

I aplogize if I upset anyone. But I disagree that he's just a curmugeon. I stand by my assesment of misanthrope. Really -- at least as evidenced here, he sees no good in anyone. In fact, he seems to relish in revealing human failings. That really gets to me after a while, perhaps because it is so contrary to my own nature. Besides, ignoring his anti-human ploitical bent, his facts are wrong nearly 100% of the time...
