Some of the stuff he's pulled recently (nothing with the wars) is unbelievable. I am very scared for the US and the American public. I don't see how some can support this ass-monkey and not see what is happening right in front of them. Hey poo-for-brains: How ya suppose ya gonna pay for this new venture of yours?

Yuki's Passion 1 Posted January 16, 2004 Share Posted January 16, 2004 Plucky, Yup, he has to be the biggest friggin iddiot on this planet. Obviously, this is Bush's way of passing the buck so to speak. He lied about everything dealing with Iraq. Powell has retracted all his statements that he has said so now this is his ploy to change gears and get the public to stop thinking about all the terrible things hes done. I cant wait to see what we find out hes really done. I think its gonna be a shocker. Anybody see that Japanese special a few weeks ago about how many specialists say NASA actually never went to the moon?? One key point was the Temperature variations/fluctuations are so great between hot and cold that the film they used wouldnt actually work. They tried to expose it as a hoax!!

mogski 0 Posted January 16, 2004 Share Posted January 16, 2004 If moon missions are so important, easy and cost effective why was there very few of them after the first one? (If of course there was actually a first one?) Why now all of a sudden the importance? Link to post Share on other sites
MistaSparkle 0 Posted January 16, 2004 Share Posted January 16, 2004 tee hee hee. 3 trillion in the hole. Sure... lets go to the moon, and mars! On top of that spend $1.3 billion to promote heterosexual marriage! how in the hell did these guys hijack the label conservative, and get to keep it after all??? sweet jeebus, I can't wait till he's gone...

Dims 0 Posted January 16, 2004 Share Posted January 16, 2004 I'm sorry but I have great difficulty in believing that there was no moon landing. Was this "special" produced in Japan, a country not really known for strong and accurate investigative journalism? Link to post Share on other sites
Dims 0 Posted January 16, 2004 Share Posted January 16, 2004 I'll probably get flamed for this, but aren't any of you interested in the concept of finding fossilised evidence of life on mars? In my mind that would be rather cool, and shut up all those bloody fundamentalist christians as well, which is worth quite a lot of money in my book Bring it on! Link to post Share on other sites

Check out this site for some interesting insight - it's anti-hoax: http://www.megacenter.org/NoesisJan02/Apollo.htm discussing Bush depresses me. I do like calling him an ass-monkey though. I'm glad I'm in Japan right now.... Link to post Share on other sites

Hey Dims, I think a mission to Mars is a great idea, but not now. It probably was feasible not too long ago to put the money forward for it, but not anymore. Bush has bankrupted the US and there are more important domestic issues that money needs to be used for. That is, if there even is any money. MistaSparkle illustrates that point. Science is my bag, baby, and I'm all for it. Too bad Bush had to go and mess everything up. How bout some other country step up and take the lead on this or contribute some bucks? Doubt that will happen. At least NASA is willing to cooperate with other organizations, but it is currently looking like Europe wants to do things on their own - ie - new gps satellite system they are planning. Anyway, I'm all for the advancement of science. These missions are just impractical right now. Just a good way for the boyz in the White House to take some heat of their war games right now. Looks like it's working too Link to post Share on other sites

MistaSparkle 0 Posted January 16, 2004 Share Posted January 16, 2004 Just because we dont sent men to mars doesnt mean we cant still look for fossilised evidence of life with comparitively dirt-cheap probes like NASA is doing now... Link to post Share on other sites
Dims 0 Posted January 16, 2004 Share Posted January 16, 2004 I must confess I didn't read the link till after posting. I totally agree, manned missions are a load of hot cock, totally unneccesary. Bush is the scariest man on the planet and yes it is shocking to try and deflect current heat with this bandstanding. Next they will have him posing in a space suit in front of NASA with a sign behind him saying "Mission to Mars" I just love seeing unmanned probes slowly cruising around collecting samples to advance our understanding of the solar system and the evolution of life in general. Worth it Curt, well what bigger question is there? I agree it is a lot of money to spend though. If you want to make cuts then have a go at the defence budget and "Son of Star Wars" (total masturbation IMHO). Link to post Share on other sites

MistaSparkle 0 Posted January 16, 2004 Share Posted January 16, 2004 This cracked me up: Ishihara, on China's space program: Speaking at a hotel in Ibusuki, Kagoshima Prefecture, to support a candidate in Sunday's House of Representatives election, Ishihara said: "The Chinese are ignorant, so they're overjoyed. That (spaceship) was an outdated one. If Japan wanted to do it, we could do it in one year." Article Link to post Share on other sites

RayInJapan 0 Posted January 17, 2004 Share Posted January 17, 2004 Personally, I think the only thing wrong with this is the fact that Bush proposed it, and when it happens, he'll get to take credit. I'm not a Star Trek geek - don't even have a telescope. But think about it - mankind eventually has to make them old sci fi movies come true; why not get started now? I don't think it should be a US project though - it should be a mankind project... Link to post Share on other sites
mattlucas 0 Posted January 17, 2004 Share Posted January 17, 2004 Quote: Originally posted by RayInJapan: I don't think it should be a US project though - it should be a mankind project... Its not solely a US project. I think there are about 16 different countries involved. Including Japan. I don't like Bush either but this is by far a big step in the right direction. Are we not explorers. This is very cool. Can't wait. To bad it is not going to be true to 2015. Far to long to wait. Link to post Share on other sites
Dims 0 Posted January 17, 2004 Share Posted January 17, 2004 I think people are missing the point here. It's not as though Bush sat down on one of his many holidays, had a good hard think, did some quick sketches and calculations like the rocket scientist his obviously isn't and came up with this whole scheme. Some very smart cookies have been thinking about this very hard for a very long time. Bush is a puppet. He would have been handed a dosier of pre-written speeches and slogans by his army of PR men probably the day before the annoucement, told to learn it or at least try to read the teleprompter without stuffing things up, and off he goes. That would be the grand total of his contribution to this scheme. He doesn't deserve any credit at all short of being able to read and speak, albeit rather badly. I think many people overestimate Bush, not underestimate him. He is a Dick Chaney marionette Link to post Share on other sites

Thunderpants 0 Posted January 19, 2004 Share Posted January 19, 2004 I agree wint most of the neagtive opinions on Bush posted here, so no need to repeat that. Going to Mars is a very big desicion and i think that Bush should make an election issue out of that "if i get re elected i will bla bla bla" ... A country has the politicians it deserves. That is also the case with Japan. ATB Thunder Link to post Share on other sites

Thunderpants 0 Posted January 20, 2004 Share Posted January 20, 2004 YUP! japanese politicians are, in my opinion thieves and clownes. Still people vote for them.

Yuki's Passion 1 Posted January 20, 2004 Share Posted January 20, 2004 MistaSparkle, Thanks for the link to that article. That was pretty amusing. Gov. Ishihara sure is good at shooting his mouth off. Hopefully, it will get him into trouble and outta office one of these days. Dims, Yeah, Japan's investigative reporting is quite shocking but is that any different from CNN, ABC, FOX, or NBC in the states? The show, Im sorry I dont know what channel it was on or what show, used mainly *French* sources and other European sources to try to disproove the fact that Armstrong and his crew didnt land on the moon.
