OT: Space shuttle launches/missions

[BlueandWhiteForever]

Seriously, anybody give a flying fuck about this anymore? Billions of dollars a year for six people to float around for a few days and sort screws in space.

Wake me up when we get warp drives NASA

I actually love this stuff. Gradually, datum by datum, these missions are bringing us closer to the universe in which we are only specks, and as a result, we're learning more about our own planet.

You're lucky Carl Sagan isn't alive to see talk like that.

He will own you.

I agree, so much more to learn. With Mars, in particular, we could really study how a planet "dies." I'm not saying life was ever on Mars, but it appears that it once had liquid water and may have been able to sustain something, but then the water all froze and it became impossible for the planet to sustain life.

Wrong thread.

Oil all over my face then, how embarrassing.

To think of all the years Ralph Kramden tried to send Alice to the Moon just so we can have the ability and choose not to go back.

I think Plutonians are pissed that their home is no longer considered a planet in our solar system...I fear their wrath is coming soon.

I wouldn't worry about them. Plutonians are harmless.

We should have scrapped the program as soon as we lost Anthony 'Buck' Rogers, but they covered that up so well no one even knows about him.

Eddie Murphy already killed Pluto's credibility:

I love how all the space shuttles were retired just so they could un-retire them again. Got a Brett Favre thing going there.

I'm actually pretty interested in space travel as well (I'd love to actually go into space some day) and I was disappointed when they scrapped the new missions to the moons and all that stuff. Hopefully they'll pick it up again in the future.

Hail Ants!

Bettman is trying to put a team there so they can host the Winter Classic. Those Plutonians are damn good hockey players.

Plus Pluto has no chance of the temperature rising above freezing.
