I've got a list of folks I'd like to send to Mars, as long as it's a
one-way trip.

Would it be considered rude if I asked to get my daughter's ex-h on that one
way flight????

No!

Well, if it were a Democrat from Texas, I'd be a lot more suspicious of their
motives than if it were a Democrat from New Hampshire.

Hey! all the Dems in NH are not native, they moved here in the last 10
years! LOL

Pork is pork, no matter who's behind it.
Funny thing, I support any NASA funding 100%, but that is in part my
interest in the space program and in part my belief that pure science is
always worth doing; you never know quite what you might find.




Of course, we could look at this another way: since a jobless recovery isn't
going to help at election time, he's going to create a few thousand
good-paying
jobs in the space program so he can point to job creation success.

Actually, that's more like a few million jobs and not just in Texas.
Manufacturers from the basic materials (metals, ceramics, plastics), up
through the computers and specialized systems. And housing and food
industries get in the act too.

And that's not LOL, that's soooooooooooooeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

I am Sam
Sam I am
I do not like
Green Eggs and Pork
I do not like them in the House
I do not like them in the Senate
If they're in a bill
I'll vote agin' it
I will not vote for them with a fork
I will not vote for Green Eggs and Pork

Hey - there are other things that I'd rather see cut then the space and pure
science programs - like the Lawrence Whelk museum that got federal funding.
Or some of the performance artists getting thousands of dollars to explore
spreading feces on themselves. Or Foreign Aid or your other favorite pet
peeve.

According to Space Mountain at Walt Disney World, I think that FedEx can
send anything anywhere ha ha ha ha

with the bank to have it autodraft payments from my checking account
while the pay is just sitting in the bank, and get that stash on time.

Ummmmmmmmm, has FedEx added a route to Mars already? =)

That is an interesting thought - "who" will be the first "commercial" space
concern - be it for "tourism" or deliveries to the space station, the moon
and Mars. My bets are on Disney and UPS!

I thought I saw something on blogspot just before the holidays about
audioblogging...

Don't forget the next Coke vs. Pepsi war...
M&Ms are the official candy for almost everything so I suppose they
would have two new colors for lunar and martian rocks. Of course the
Mars candy bar surreptitiously disappeared from the shelves in this
country (replaced by Snickers Almond) so maybe they will bring that back.

"SGC" had some very interesting things to
say about Trip to Mars:

Whether it arrives at destination in good condition is another
question. ;-) [Just kidding, since I work for UPS tech support :-)]

Are the Snicker Almond any good? I miss Mars Bars - which have been missing
for ages!

No you're not - I watched the UPS guy drop stuff off the back labeled
fragile! it was fine, but still I've received a box of daylilies that looked
like it had been run over.

As far as I can tell they are the same product. I suppose Mars wasn't
selling well enough so they put the Snickers brand name on the product
to boost sales. Not that I've ever seen any ads for them either way...
