Actually, I think NASA is under a lot of pressure (including financial) to find a replacement for the Space Shuttle. There will probably be even more cuts in other proposed projects. One of the other cuts (I think - not sure) was a project for some type of atomic fueling system to replace the current chemical fuels used.

generators won't take it, the ship is breaking apart and all that. Just, FYI.

Why is the war still being fought anyway? We took down Saddam, Irag is no longer communist (right?) so what's the point in continueing to occupy?

A world without Monty Python, gnomes, news crews that make a big deal out of a celebrity breathing, Star Trek, & Coca-Cola? That is impossible! IMPOSSIBLE!
