Any breakthroughs on that flight to mars plan for 3 billion? |
|
The people at NASA were already to get started, and even abandoned the Hubble in anticipation of the ribbon cutting for the new project. Any word?

1. They are only getting $150M a year in additional funding |

which will make a great vinegar and baking soda propulsion system (it's a sham -- won't happen)

2. You might recommend the air over water rocket motor |

It worked pretty good for me when I was a kid, and you don't have to ask mom for the ingredients.

7. With the 300 billion spent in the Iraq Quagmire |

We won't have any money left for dubby's imaginative projects. His Momma will have to get the flash cards back out. 2-3 equals negative 1. Oh gees, dubby will never grasp that. Let's forget it before it ever starts. We no longer have that kind of wealth. I love space exploration, but right now with this clown in charge, we have too much on our plate.
