What, is there an expiration date on space travel?

Obviously not but what would you suggest? Cut all of NASA's funding for now and when the economy picks up in a few years time start again from scratch? It might be a better idea to try and keep them going even though money is tight.

Actually killing a buffalo with bear hands (claws?) must be a bit easier than with human hands :)

Software giants Autodesk and SolidWorks have each latched onto the worst-economic-disaster-since-the-Great-Depression meme and released free versions of their flagship computer-aided-design brands before their potential users are forced to sell their laptops on Craigslist. "In these uncertain economic times," Autodesk coos sympathetically, it will give away temporary licenses of AutoCAD and others ($5,000+) to those unemployed in the fields of architecture, engineering and design. (They are also developing a Mac version, two decades too late.) SolidWorks was quick to respond with its subtly titled Engineering Stimulus Package. So if anyone out there has their weekdays free, jumpstart your hardware and design projects for cheap. Legally, too."
