until after the election. The Administration is trying to keep a lid on it, but watch out after the election

Idiotic, politically-correct statement from them. How would preventing Africans from coming to the US make the outbreak worse?

The Asteroid re-direct mission is a pork mission to push money for more pointless manned missions. Binzel is 100% correct; the money would be much better spent on robotic missions, but, alas, NASA is run by pilots and beholden to the manned mission lobby.

Travel restrictions are epidemiology 101, but politics gets in the way...

Good luck with that reifman...

Why are scientists obsessed with finding the most exotic explanation of Dark Matter without first exhausting the more prosaic explanations? It is Occam's Razor upside down. I think that the reason is there there is a Nobel Prize and fame if Dark Matter turns out to be a particle, but there is no glory if it turns out to be something more ordinary such as neutral hydrogen, dust, etc. Even a modification of Newtonian laws at a distance to explain Dark Matter is not exotic enough.....so we have to endure Crackpot Cosmology Theory (CCT) of the week from here to eternity...

It is part of the Obamcare package..[M. Savage] So did it really cost $500,000 to treat Patient 0?

And the term "Good" lawyer is an oxymoron.

Pork, pork, pork All this could be done for 10th or 100th the cost with a robotic mission. This is all about directing pork to congressional districts, but science.

Too bad. It was the most terse language ever created.

So we can find work for more unemployed physicists and engineers...but don't expect it to really work...

Because they get gummy and black with congealed hacker sweat--saw this at Brown where we had these glorious keyboard but they were filthy

Aren't there continuous low-grade wars in 1984 to keep the people scared?

Perfect for the greedy CEOs of tech companies
