"Yeah, I guess so, Hot Dog. Just be sure you don't screw the pooch." Gus Grissom, US Astronaut The proposed NASA budget favors funding expensive problem projects (the shuttle, International space station and getting back to the moon) over the two most exciting, history making and potentially...

George Deutsch, a 24 year old Bush political appointee with only a degree from Texas A &M in jouralism, has been silencing NASA scientists on what the Bush adminstraton consider to be political issues (such as global warming). Yet, it appears that: he was offered a position in George W. Bush’s...

No, you're not dreaming. By now it's reasonable to expect that Bush would plant a political operative in NASA to censor scientists' utterances on global warming, the big bang and anything else that touches on the interests of big bidness and James Dobson. But did he have to select a punk-ass...

The Bush administration is trying to stifle scientific evidence of the dangers of global warming in an effort to keep the public uninformed, a NASA scientist said Tuesday night. “In my more than three decades in government, I have never seen anything approaching the degree to which information...

I mentioned in another thread that I'd post the site that has a vast amount of NASA documentation concerning manned space flight from Mercury to the ISS. I usually hand this site out to people who claim that we've lost the knowledge or capability to go to the moon. In there you'll find such gems...

Some dozy is suing NASA after the mission to destroy the recent comet was succesful. Here ;) I think there's a rising in her Uranus! ;)

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20050705/ap_on_fe_st/russia_comet_case Sort of begs the question of why the astrologer didn't foretell this incidence.... SORRY -- POSTED TOO LATE, I see a thread already exists....:o

I just read this over on CNN : New Nasa Head I kinda think this is good for NASA. Who's the best "bagman" in Washington these days, notwithstanding some minor ethics problems? I'm sure he can bring more funding to NASA or at the minimum keep the current levels in place. I'm am a little...

For upsetting something or other in the universe... http://www.ananova.com/news/story/sm_1388433.html?menu=news.quirkies *sigh* I guess that's why my horoscopes never come through, it's the fault of Nasa. Maybe I should sue... :)

A Russian "astrologist", Marina Bai, is attempting to sue NASA over the Deep Impact project because, “The actions of NASA infringe upon my system of spiritual and life values, in particular on the values of every element of creation, upon the unacceptability of barbarically interfering with...

This is might be old news, and I apologize if it is, but I just saw the article today. NASA plans to attempt to destroy a comet on July 4 this year. (Just to find out if they can.) Russian "astrologist" (is that the same as astrologer?) Marina Bai has filed a lawsuit because, in her words...

I really did not know where this should go, but felt you guys would get a laugh from it. http://mosnews.com/feature/2005/04/19/deepimpact.shtml She's just wacky.

WASHINGTON -- A pair of NASA scientists told a group of space officials at a private meeting here Sunday that they have found strong evidence that life may exist today on Mars, hidden away in caves and sustained by pockets of water. The scientists, Carol Stoker and Larry Lemke of NASA’s Ames...

Global warming the key to life on Mars Tim Radford, science editor Monday February 7, 2005 The Guardian US scientists have thought up a new way to create a second home - by warming up the atmosphere of Mars. Mars - which used to be warm and wet - has an atmosphere rich in carbon dioxide. But...

A flammable world. Reality always trumps fantasy!

(SPACE.com) -- Researchers can now say definitively that Mars once supported a watery environment, but whether the Red Planet could have ever supported life is still far from certain. The success of NASA's Mars rover Opportunity in finding tell-tale signs of past water at its Meridiani Planum...

From time to time I hear about someone claiming that they have a rock (or other object) which NASA scientists have allegedly examined and declared to be "not of this world." My question is: what would NASA do if someone actually brought them a rock and asked them to check it out? Do they...

Check http://www.nasa.gov/vision/space/travelinginspace/no_ufo.html Do they think they can fool us? Sure its not an alien craft. Its the original Lost in Space Jupiter 2. They can't fool us!

A CNN article reported this about space missions over 1 year long. "NASA has tried to limit space stays to about six months because of health concerns. After extended periods in zero gravity, muscles atrophy and bones begin to degenerate." Couldn't they just do exercises with rubber band...

A salty sea once washed over the plains of Mars at the Opportunity rover's landing site, creating a life-friendly environment more earthlike than any known on another world, NASA scientists announced today. Article here: http://space.com/scienceastronomy/opportunity_sea_040323.html

I am not well educated in Science, nor am I on practised terms with Skeptical terminology and concepts. However, despite all that, I went ahead and roused the ire of a conspiracy-theorist who was sending me "interesting snippets" from Hoagland's site suggesting that the Mars landings have been...

Article I can't wait to hear Hoagland say this is proof they found something and are covering it up! (Or is Hoagland even doing that anymore? I haven't checked in on him in months...) edited typos

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/3077663/ Whoa. I and just about everyone else has heard about the infamous 'metric conversion' cause, but this is the first that I've heard about lack of double-checking staff; NASA "assumed" that there would be no mistakes? Maybe NASA Upper Management should...

Cheaper, too, I imagine.

From http://www.randi.org/jr/071103.html: The page in question (http://www.nasa.gov/about/contact/index.html) has an email address listed. Will that do?

Is NASA doing a little too much thinking outside the box? Are they letting their standards slip? Three examples: http://www.randi.org/vbulletin/showthread.php?threadid=23164&highlight=NASA A claim that NASA has been granted a patent on "lifter" technology. Is this a misinterpretation, or has...

Over the 18 months or so I've been posting on this forum, I've had several arguments about NASA and the manned space program. My thesis has been that NASA deceives the public into thinking that the program is necessary for pushing the frontiers of science. Yet they do not compete for funding...
