"Would you like to know more?"
He already established that it wasn't by him.
I'm undecided whether the idea of corporate-owned space exploration is worse than government-owned space exploration. I think it's a case of better the devil you know.

Yup - got me the last 300K I needed for some vents 
haha, what a trooper 
I'd rather have 4 mars missions and 5 Olympics.
Anyway, first hi-res picture is up!

Well, you bring it on yourself. Sarcasm only works if people are aware that it's sarcasm.
You're like the boy who cried wolf; you come out with these 'sarcastic' posts which are pretty much indistingishable from the conspiracist drivel you normally restrict yourself to, and then when it goes over everyone's head by about a mile and half, act all hurt and confused, and immediately start defensively slinging insults at everyone about how they're 'not thinking, maaaaaann...'
You'd do well to remember that everything you do is in the context of everything else you do. You can't just decide that hasn't happened then throw throw a tantrum when other people don't.
I try. I like to think that under the tinfoil hat you're an okay guy, but bloody hell you make it difficult sometimes.
Rant over, let's talk about how cool spaceships are.

Racer X, if you're going to start this shit again, do it in a separate thread.
And for the record; communicating badly then acting smug when you're misunderstood, is neither big nor clever.

Regarding the 'should you play to 110% of your ability no matter what' argument earlier, the Men's Sprint cycling is an interesting one, which I only found out about today.

Ostensibly, it's a 3-lap 1-on-1 cycle race.
However, slipstreaming pays a HUGE part, so while they could just ride as fast as they could for 60 seconds, what would likely happen is one would tuck in behind the other and just use the energy they saved to slingshot past the other as they exit the final corner.
So what you end up with is two very slow laps of 'mind-games' with neither rider committing to the race until they think they've caught the other off-guard. Is it as exciting as a 3-lap dash? I'm undecided. Is it treading the same moral ground as playing a lacklustre game of badminton to make later games easier? Very possibly.

The air conditioning budget for the US troops in Afghanistan is larger than NASA's entire government-funded budget. There are a hell of a lot things which should have budget cuts before we start cancelling the one thing that might let this species survive more than another thousand years.
Watching that I am constantly bombarded with the mind-blowing thought that that's a whole other f*cking planet
God I love space.
Come on NASA, get that high-gain antenna up, we want PICTURES DAMMIT.
<-------- Awwww yeaahhhh!!
Hopefully this will be playable on the PC.
I couldn't do more than a couple of races on the previous game due to the ridiculous half-second delay between turning the wheel and the car responding (which LOADS of people seem to have found)

The Daily Mail have never been a publication to let 'facts' get in the way of a hysterical scare story.
It's by MILES the biggest, most advanced and most capable though. Stupidly exciting.
Saw them last year, they're absolutely fantastic
They're getting better, but Mars missions have always had a pretty dismal success rate.

Except possibly 'not being massive wankers'.
I think it's more to do with AC/DC being massive dicks with regards to anyone using their image, name or music in any context.
I saw them at Download Festival a few years ago; they'd insisted on a second, identical main stage to be set up next to the 'main' main stage just for them to use for their set on the third day. It was unused until then. They also refused to let their name be on any of the official festival merchandise, so despite the fact that they were the headliners, all the posters, t-shirts etc weren't able to mention them anywhere.
