At first I read this article and thought it to be kind of inept at meriting any sort of posting on The Nutshell, until I read this line...
"The shuttle carries two new sleeping compartments and a water recycling system that will enable the crew to purify urine and other wastewater for drinking." What infuriated me even more is that as I continued to read I learned that the space shuttle only has 10 voyages left, which will conclude in the year 2010.
So, let me see if I am understanding you correctly Mr. President. Our economy is in the absolute shitter, millions of people are homeless and jobless, and you somehow justified blowing $250 million on a tricked out space shuttle's bathroom when we are going to retire the space shuttle program altogether in the next two years--??!! How is that a good use of tax dollars?? You mean to tell me that the astronauts could not make due with the way that drinking water situation has been handled since the early 1980's? Do we have a bunch of pre-madonna's aboard the shuttle these days or what? Yeesh! I usually try to write funny blogs, but this one just sort if pissed in my cornflakes and I had to vent. Oh "W" how I love thee.
LYL-(and hate the President)
