Re: Wow! NASA a freaking waste of Money!

Easy mate. The truth is there are too many  variables for anyone. Last time I checked there were other rocks out there, if it hits one of them then all bets are off.

Those dumb asses were able to launch a rocket from earth and land on another planet. A different grade of dumb ass for sure.

Re: Wow! NASA a freaking waste of Money!

I suppose NASA could be called Variable Intelligence. On one hand it got men to the Moon and probes to the outer solar system; on the other it makes stupid mistakes like the one just mentioned and losing a $125 million probe because it mixed up Imperial and Metric units.

Re: Wow! NASA a freaking waste of Money!

Well variable intelligence is a human condition and NASA is made of humans. Funny how they can put a rover on Mars and can not take a color image and send it back.

it makes stupid mistakes like the one just mentioned and losing a $125 million probe because it mixed up Imperial and Metric units.

See, I knew those metric units were going to be a problem.
