I challenge the networks of at the very least the industrialized nations, to, before this decade is out, gather a team of ameteurs and hobbyists, and have them launch to the edge of space(or at least as close as they can get it) a car, and return it safely to earth again. Then repeat the task with the same boosters and other hardware. This will be reality TV, to inspire interest in science and technology, and make the execs a lot of money. It will also be a visible point of national pride that they can gather people without higher education in these areas, who have enough interest to gain that knowledge.
See here for inspiration:

http://www.examiner.com/x-2912-Seattle-Exopolitics-Examiner~y2009m6d19-NASA-moon-bombing-violates-space-law--may-cause-conflict-with-lunar-extraterrestrial-civilizations
The planned October 9, 2009 bombing of the moon by a NASA orbiter that will bomb the moon with a 2-ton kinetic weapon to create a 5 mile wide deep crater as an alleged water-seeking and lunar colonization experiment, is contrary to space law prohibiting environmental modification of celestial bodies. The NASA moon bombing, a component of the LCROSS mission, may also trigger conflict with known extraterrestrial civilizations on the moon as reported on the moon in witnessed statements by U.S. astronauts Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong, and in witnessed statements to NSA (National Security Agency) photos and documents regarding an extraterrestrial base on the dark side of the moon.
If the true intent of the LCROSS mission moon bombing is a hostile act by NASA against known extraterrestrial civilizations and settlements on the moon, then NASA and by extension the U.S. government are guilty of aggressive war which is the most serious of war crimes under the U.N. Charter and the Geneva Conventions, to which the U.S. is subject. The U.N. Outer Space Treaty, which the U.S. has ratified, requires that “ The moon and other celestial bodies shall be used by all States Parties to the Treaty exclusively for peaceful purposes. The establishment of military bases, installations and fortifications, the testing of any type of weapons and the conduct of military manoeuvres on celestial bodies shall be forbidden.” 98 nations have ratified and 125 nations have signed the U.N. Outer Space Treaty.
They mention later the Moon's "delicate ecological balance." What ecology? The rest just finishes them off. Some of the comments are funny too. |

Saw UP last night. Wonderful movie. I'm gonna buy my second hand lion, and take it with me when I float my house down to South America with helium baloons. |

I currently have a room, but the room is only half full. This puts both of us over the amount we'd prefer to spend on a room, so I thought I'd check and see if two slots are available in other rooms. If there's a half full room, or two with one slot each, it'll be practical to cancel his room.
How many slots are still available? We're looking for little or no drinking, non-smoking, parties are fine provided we know when to have stuff put together. |

I'm looking late for a room at Rocket City Furmeet. Mostly because the the money to go is probably going to come partly from sales of a couple of partial fursuits, which until now didn't look like they'd be good enough or done enough to sell. If anyone knows of someone with room for another guy, let them know I'm looking. |

I replaced the intake manifold gaskets in my impala this weekend. Can they make these things any harder to work on? a quarter of the engine has to come off to get to the manifold and the plenum, which sits on top. It was eventually all done though, at half the cost that it would have been to have the shop do it. Only thing is that when I went and got the coolant flushed, they said they usually do the thermostat at the same time, since everything's exposed anyway.
It's nice to have a car again though. |

Go to the store.
Buy one of those swimming noodles.
Run it under the tap a second or two.
Beat someone with a wet noodle.
Continue beatings until morale improves. |
