no no no thats not what i am saying.

im simply making the argument that while it happened as said, maybe it wasnt as big of a deal as it was, maybe they were overly cautious (not a bad thing) and maybe they are now using the issue to pass legislation

as an example in 07 i believe it was in my state of NY they were in the middle of a debate trying to raise taxes on cigarettes in my county. it was a tough battle and they were losing. then all of a sudden there is a wild fire (minnewaska st park) that they blamed on a discarded cigarette.

the problem with that assessment is I was working there at the time and we were informed of a controlled burn to take place that coincided with the discarded cigarette.

the day after they announced it was a smoke, they passed the bill raising taxes

pfft, stone tablets and a harder stone chisel ( I wish i was joking but i actually did have to do that before)

yeah.....but how do we know that the drones were the problem and they arent manufacturing one simply to pass legislation? wouldnt be the first time

im saying just because something seems impossible doesnt make it so. im not talking specifically about this idea, just the theory that we dont have a way to do it so we shouldnt try is a bad theory

i just pulled a few. im with you on all the ones you pointed out as well. Lets not jump to conclusions because of a lack of a statement....

the point is not they waste so nasa should spend more

the point is clean up the damn waste so nasa can spend more

still pennies compared to the waste in medicaid and social security, not to mention EBT and lets not even talk what illegal immigration costs us

do the math on those few that i listed, dont even count the ones i didnt like the dept of ed, and if it is more than 30 b, give it to nasa

sure, and we didnt have the tech to send us to the moon in the 60s...but we did it

when they originally announced the SLS and orion, the plan was for 2018 or 2019. but the funding got stripped out.

sadly nasa is the red headed stepchild, it is one of the few government orgs that i actually care about and it gets pennies compared to orgs who want to ensure that some mole that no one has ever heard of remains protected. Its wrong

fair enough. just seems like any of the ones i would have cared about get ignored. (well majority of them i wont say all)

Sounds like the watch needs a gesture for "go back to where I was in the app, before the watch auto-reset to the time". And I don't mean a touchscreen gesture, I mean something using the accelerometer. The downside is that's bound to look silly.

you think people take the white house petitions seriously???? thats adorable

we dont need their oil though, we are exporting more than we import now

his numbers look bad only because he has stepped back while the hoopla is going on letting trump and others take the abuse. We will see what happens, hes still my top pick

id love to be half as incompetent as donald. how much is he worth????
