Another prime example of big government working toward the benefit of us all.

Funded by the taxpayers of the United States of America.

Correction: Memo is from Jan 30. I've asked the Admin Moderator to fix the title, which s/he has done.

Okay Maximus, with nothing they could do to save the astronauts, did you want NASA to tell them immediately it was a one way trip thus putting a damper over the trip of a lifetime for many of the crew. With no purpose for telling them, I think NASA did the right thing to withhold the information.

Congrats on the stupidest post I've seen in 2003.

I oppose the welfare state but I believe the United States space program is a worthy function of our government. It has advanced our military, our knowledge of how the universe works, and our everyday lives.
