Hah. I once heard an astronaut talk about life at NASA during the Challenger disaster. He was arguing with someone in management about how they should go forward after the accident, saying that they should prioritize actual safety stuff more than they do rather than launch anyway to hit the deadlines they promised.

The guy said "You don't understand everything that goes into it. If we don't deliver the launches when we say, Congress will cut our program. You astronauts can't prioritize it rationally, especially since you've got to worry about your own safety to the exclusion of everything else"
To which he responded "Who really cares about missing deadlines? Blowing up astronauts is the fastest way to get this program shut down"

Pfffffft. The coal industry has been killing people for years and look where that got them.

We're all going to experience changes in our life but only the best of us will qualify for front row seats.

Asbestos and tobacco have also shown that if you throw money at the right people you can kill people for decades, pesky research be damned.

No see, NASA has the exact opposite money exchange direction with Congress, so their responses are a little different here.

We must hope that our current selves will one day step aside to make room for better versions of us.

Oh the climate will be just fine- it's just the climate being in a state we can survive in it that we have to worry about. The world has survived far worse than mankind and we are only killing ourselves.

If NASA were really running a scam to get funding from Congress, they'd probably be better funded than they are.

Man, If god told me to sacrifice my son I'd tell
him to fuck off.
I wasn't sure whether to put this in the funny graphs/charts thread, though earlier today whilst browsing the BBC site at work I came upon this article about Brian Cox (The Physicist) shooting down some Australian climate change denier who was blabbing on the usual anti-science crap, and when the "sceptic" said there was no scientific evidence for climate change Brian Cox pulled out a graph showing scientific evidence of climate change, anyway I really couldn't help myself take a screen grab and do this:



It's worth watching the video in the article it's pretty funny watching the guy get flustered, and a big picture of a dick pretty much sums up Brian Cox's opinion of the poor dude.

Are we talking about goons who work at NASA?



I think it eventually came out that this guy was just a janitor or something and had no reason to be strapped. Not even a space janitor, just a regular old earth janitor.

No offence to the earth janitors out there.

Space janitors shouldn't carry guns anyway. Shoot your gun and you make a hole for the air to get out and everyone dies.
