Geeks Land (Anal) Probe On A Comet - Homeless People Everywhere Rejoice

[Kristy]

(Reuters) - The European Space Agency landed a probe on a comet on Wednesday, a first in space exploration and the climax of a 10-year-odyssey, but an anchoring system problem may hamper planned investigations into the origins of Earth and the solar system.


Rosetta reached the comet, a roughly 3-by-5 km rock discovered in 1969, in August after a journey of 6.4 billion km that took 10 years, five months and four days - a mission that cost close to 1.4 billion euros ($1.8 billion).

Meanwhile, with 1.8 BILLION spent to land of piece of shit on a space rock homeless people everywhere celebrate

"Yay! Says here 1.8 billion was put to good use."

Last week, the Pentagon told you the costs of the war on terror had eclipsed $1 trillion. Wednesday morning, a panel of academics experienced in war accounting says that's only a down payment — and that its real, total cost is around $5 trillion.

Sorry, we were trying to stop you lot spending everything on really useful shit

Kristy, What are you implying?

We should stop all scientific exploration to feed and house a bunch of lazy assed, psychotic hobos..?

You don't have to stretch the imagination very hard to find the answer... there's about 1800 spin-off technologies that we use everyday that are a result of technologies developed by NASA for space flight that have been adapted into commercial products. Here's a few...


Artificial limbs
Baby formula
Cell-phone cameras
Computer mouse
Cordless tools
Ear thermometer
Firefighter gear
Freeze-dried food
Golf clubs
Long-distance communication
Invisible braces
MRI and CAT scans
Memory foam
Safer highways
Solar panels
Shoe insoles
Ski boots
Adjustable smoke detector
Water filters
UV-blocking sunglasses

My beer goggles fucked up my post, Zah man.
I meant to quote vandy's post #2, and was referring to the war $.
I'm all for pumping money into science!
