NASA Going Back to the Moon

Permalink | Comment (0) ~ WordPress

On Yahoo! today there was an AP story on using the Hubble telescope to look for oxygen-bearing minerals on the moon. As quoted…

The space agency hopes to return astronauts to the moon by 2018 using Apollo-like capsules and rockets made of shuttle parts.

Doesn’t that just sound absolutely lame? Kind of like strapping some JATO rockets on a Yugo (oh, except JATO rockets usually don’t blow up). I mean 2018 is 12 years from now! How about using some hi-tech stuff like chewing gum, duct tape and bailing wire?

BTW NASA… the moon… been there, done that.

Welcome to the ’90s Yahoo!

Yahoo! seems to have finally heard of drag-and-drop. Good on ya… and welcome to the ’90s.



Oh, and what is up with, “Discuss them with free PC calls”??
Seems that you could have a better call to action.
How about, “Skype your buddies”?? Ebay would love that!
