Do you think the government should pay for stuff like this?

Maybe they could suspend that kind of exploration... - sam

and re-channel that money into taking care of those folks who need extended unemployment, and when they go back to work evaluate the space program and see if there are more important things that need to be funded.

Just a suggestion...looking into all the programs and funding the most important ones until we dig out of this hole we're in.

I kinda agree with that (make a note of this day) - of course

if a person had a crystal ball, it would make it much easier. i.e. vaccinating for a disease that may or may not wipe out mankind. Don't really know until the deed is done.

Note made. :) I guess it all comes down to priorities.... - sam

and for politicians (on both sides) sadly it comes down to what's in it for them. But if it was my decision and I had to make a decision between arsenic based whatevers and extending unemployment, at least for the next year, I would choose extending unemployment. Not sure how those things are funded at NASA...NASA gets a bulk of money then it decides which projects are more important, or are the projects funded separately? Argh. That gives me a headache.

Still, it seems like the arsenic-based whatevers could wait a year or two. ;)

One Space, Or Two?Oct 16, 2014

Clean My SpaceJan 12, 2015
I recently discovered a web site called Clean My Space .com and I wanted to share it with all of you.  They are short videos put out about once a week on how to clean particular items, etc.  The "host" owns her own cleaning company and uses lots of homemade products to clean and disinfect.  For the last year, we have stopped using our dishwasher because I noticed that the dishes were coming out more dirty than they went in, so we've been washing dishes by hand and our dishwa ...

Class Divide Between Facebook And My Space Oct 14, 2009
Which do you use - Facebook or MySpace?Excerpt:Is there a class divide online? Research suggests yes. A recent study by market research firm Nielsen Claritas found that people in more affluent demographics are 25 percent more likely to be found friending on Facebook, while the less affluent are 37 percent more likely to connect on MySpace. More specifically, almost 23 percent of Facebook users earn more than $100,000 a year, compared to slightly more than 16 percent of MySpace users. On the othe ...

Castro Wants Guantanamo Back. He Must Need More SpaceMar 21, 2016
This sleazebag actually said "Political prisoners?  What political prisoners?  Give me names!" - and did it with the popeyed innocent expression of an infant. Obama then bloviated about the salutary effects of "interaction" between the two countries - implying that if we trade together, human rights will naturally come to Cuba.  Mr. Obama has obviously never heard of China (no, Barry, not "Chinatown" with Jack Nicholson).  You know, that biggish country due west of San Fran ...

Do ILLEGAL Aliens Have Any Rights?Oct 14, 2010
Yes! The same as you and I. I've read the reports and the conflicting testimony from some of the prosecutor's witnesses were different. "Gomez" stated in one report that he was confronted was one of these two guys when a group of defense witnesses stated he was with them somewhere that night and no where near "Gomez" or his truck. Even their friends that turned against them because they were threatened to get the same consequences had some conflicting testimony. What these kids ...

Anyone Watch Ancient Aliens???May 05, 2012
I started watching this about a year ago.  Even though I don't buy their theories about ETs causing a lot of our history -- that they created man and caused the extermination of the dinosaurs -- not a meteor as scientists have said for years and years.  I must admit it is fascinating and they never cease to amaze me.  Now ET's are time travelers and have come from our future to make changes on our planet.  They say ET's were the ones who destroyed all mankind i ...

Do You Think The ILLEGAL ALIENS Are Really Going To REGISTER?Nov 24, 2014
Will Obama be making another EO to block the IRS and Social Security Administration from performing their jobs?  The Dems are stating that the illegals have to REGISTER to get a work permit, pay fines, pay taxes, yada, yada, yada... Really? Didn't Obama state DHS will be covering and processing the paperwork for those that come out of the shadows? To work and pay taxes, they need a TIN, ITIN, or SSN.  That's what the IRS and Social Security Administration states: &nbs ...

How America Treats Illegal Aliens Vs. VeteransMay 24, 2014
A government that fails to secure its borders is guilty of dereliction of duty. A government that fails to care for our men and women on the frontlines is guilty of malpractice. A government that puts the needs of illegal aliens above U.S. veterans for political gain should be prosecuted for criminal neglect bordering on treason. Compare, contrast and weep: In Sacramento, Calif., lawmakers are moving forward with a budget-busting plan to extend government-funded health insurance to at lea ...

I Firmly Believe In God, But Find Shows Such As Ancient Aliens Very Upsetting. Feb 22, 2012
It is very disheartening and upsetting that these shows are trying to disrupt the Christian world and poison us with their crazy theories about how life took shape on our planet.   I must admit I was fascinated with their show, but realized it is an Atheist's attempt to make Christianity seem like a fantasy and that God really does not exist.  These people are very clever and master manipulators of the truth.  They are very convincing and I find it very sad to think they prob ...

More Undocumented Workers (AKA Illegal Aliens) Moving Into ManagementMar 27, 2015
A growing number of undocumented immigrants are landing managerial positions. At the same time, fewer are doing jobs that require manual labor. Some 13% of undocumented immigrants had management or professional jobs in 2012, up from 10% in 2007, according to a new Pew Research Center report. Meanwhile, 29% held construction or production posts, such as a food processor, garment worker or machinist, down from 34% in 2007. The transition reflects a shift within the undocumented populat ...

Russian Official Under US Sanction Plays Key Role In Pentagon Space ProgramApr 25, 2014
I'm not sure what to make of this, but this entire Russian-Ukraine issue has me nervous. The first 2 paragraphs of the article are here. The rest is at the link. I know a lot of you don't like Fox News, but my feeling is that this is not a right or left wing article. A top Russian official sanctioned by President Obama in the wake of the Ukraine crisis is playing a key role in the Pentagon's space program, and thereby continuing to benefit from a lucrative no-bid contract that th ...

While some of President Barack Obama’s unilateral amnesty programs are still awaiting the green light from the courts before being implemented, others are moving full-steam ahead, including the president’s Central American Minors Refugee/Parole (CAM) Program, which allows certain illegal aliens from El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras to petition for their children still living in these three countries to be brought to the United States. As of March 23, 248 cases representing 2 ...

LOS ANGELES — They pushed strollers, tugged toddlers and streamed into the convention center in the heart of this city on Sunday, thousands of immigrants here illegally and anxious to find out if they could gain protection from deportation under executive actions by President Obama. The crowd, waiting in a long snaking line to check in, was drawn by an information session organized by advocacy groups offering people initial assessments to see if they meet the requirements to apply to ...
