Old aunts used to come up to me at weddings, poking me in the ribs and cackling, telling me, "You're next." They stopped after I started doing the same thing to them at funerals.

The music industry is a cruel and shallow money trench where thieves and pimps run free, and good men die like dogs. There's also a negative side.

The only point in space is to put an Ion Cannon up there.

I think we should have a world wide test, and everyone that passes gets sent to mars, and then Earth "sterilzed." [http://forums.massassi.net/html/tongue.gif] So people that do things like this are taken care of.

on a not entirely unrelated subject, the space shuttle program is supposed to be abandoned by the end of the decade. which means that they will have a new platform ready by then. with all the extensive testing they have to do, im sure they have something interesting to look at. i live right by kennedy space center, maybe i'll stroll by and sneak a look for you all.

The Venture Star program looked intresting and was in development for several years but was canceled a year or so ago. I've stopped following NASA entirely. My attention has gone to independant agencies/corporations...
