anyway, Godspeed New Horizons! What you are about to show us, may the human race will never forget!

what's "I like a McRock with a side order of...rock." in Arabic or Russian or Chinese?
cos that might be more relevant if the DoD and NASA had swapped budgets...

POLITICS!

Rated 6 for "Got change for a boulder?"

why would it be more relevant? Whoever controls space, controls the land below.

If only we could see ourselves as Earthlings, or at worst as Humans. But I guess American works for some people (even if it's a somewhat artificial division). :)
Ark what other skills do you have apart from Pro? :)

Arktoris for President.

I think we should merge the [Earth] and [Moon] divisions - wait a minute, wrong thread.

Why doesn't the UK Space Agency have a cool acronym like NASA? At least our counterpart beats DoD though.

What's not cool about UKSA?

my other skills are bonehead and always hungry...I'll fit right in with Washington.
If you want us to become "earthlings" foulscumm, vote me president. With a 900 billion dollar/yr budget we're bound to run into some aliens eventually and piss them off with our Americaness.
and nothing unites humans more than an alien invasion!
Posted by Mr_Foulscumm on 2015-07-15 05:14:01
I'd vote for you, but only because I want to see what you'd make with 900 billion dollars. Even for just one year :D

a really cool fully self sustaining space station...with lasers.
but in secret I'd also be working on cyborging humans, to make them more space compatible.
Posted by Mr_Foulscumm on 2015-07-15 15:24:43
Ok, you have my vote. Because I just assume us cyborgs will have retina displays so we can play Fumbbl in space right? :D

awesome, that's means I'm ahead of pythrr in winning the presidential race!
