Then again, never underestimate the cheapness and shortsightedness of Fox or other cable networks.
The Guardian had a cool piece about the Russians’ plans to have a functional, orbiting hangout for the uber-wealthy by 2016. I can see the Russians trying because they don’t sweat important details like insurance or safety. They better have it in a safe location due to all the trash floating around. When I watched a documentary about going to Mars, micrometeorites were a huge concern as demonstrated by a special rail gun: an object the size of pea penetrated the experimental hull as it if were toilet paper I’m also curious about how the Russians will maintain the station’s orbit. ISS “sinks” almost 20 km/year.
Meanwhile, another Libertarian billionaire douchebag wants to build “a petri dish” to build a Libertarian Distopia since making New Hampshire unlivable wasn’t enough (besides being New Hampshire). It will be hoot the day when he and/or the Koch Brothers send a distress call to those “oppressive Socialist” governments to save them from pirates, hostile states or their “fellow” psycho citizens. I think we’re in for a preview this weekend as Teabaggers will need assistance cleaning up after Irene.
