What should we do to free our planet from terrorism?

[nomix]

Or because the world's a bit like the school yard. The biggest, least clever boy, allways rule the school yard.

Earthica!!!!!

[zenkidori]

I think we should expand our empire into the solar system. but nobody from the south can go.

[Firecat]

This is sounding like an episode of Battlestar Galactica...


which is back on tonight!

[zenkidori]

FUCK YEAH!!!!! I'm so stoked!

but yes, let's move on to the stars, drop walmarts and mcdonalds(pork free of course) into the middle east, put a fence around the south and sell everyone our mysterious space juice.

[wooflepoof]

by "south" you mean everyone but TX LA and FL right? Can't conquer the stars w/o NASA now can you?

[zenkidori]

parts of FL can stay, but the rest has to go. NASA has been so bloated and inefficient for so long it's time to start over. Plus we have space command, the space warfare center and various aerospace companies here.

Texas doesn't necessarily have to go along with the rest of the south, they can do thier own thing, but they can't come along.

[wooflepoof]

Keep in mind the 3 states that define America, CA TX and NY w/o them the US has no money

Actually no, NASA has done quite well.

[zenkidori]

yes they've done well, but they could do much, much, much better. NASA is run by pie in the sky scientists, which is fine for pure science, but the pace at which they get things done is quite slow.

Keep in mind the 3 states that define America, CA TX and NY w/o them the US has no money

they're also the largest pain in the ass in the country.

[wooflepoof]

the only state that needs getting rid of is new jersey, turn it into a fulltime landfill

[zenkidori]

ok, we can keep texas, and the south, and california, but we need to get rid of californians and southerners.

[jetsetter]

If California was on its own it would have the 7th largest economy in the world with a "GDP" of $1,621,843,000,000.

but the pace at which they get things done is quite slow.

You go fast and you make mistakes. Go to their website and look at all the missions and projects they have on their plate.

Yeah but the cost of living in California is higher than other places. It's almost like the economy there is on a different scale.

[zenkidori]

we can keep the money and get rid of the people.

I'm not talking about just going fast, I'm talking about being efficient. NASA needs a serious overhaul.

even so, you completely missed the point of my joke, but whatever.

[jetsetter]

I just don't think people realize how hard NASA's job is. Going into space is not easy, if it was it would not cost millions.

[zenkidori]

I realize that it's hard, but you can't help but look at how much faster military and private sector projects move, and it's not like they're building cessnas or anything.

I think the main problem is the people running NASA are pure scientists, not engineers or practical people. They constantly want to reinvent the wheel for each project and many times project goals and returns don't have a lot of application back home. I think that if more practical results were expected of NASA things could move a lot faster, but post space-race our progress has been bit by bit by bit.
