"Space shuttle just exploded"

About half an hour ago. Seven astronauts inside were all killed. Check CNN/Sky News.

mmm. Space Potatoes.

They ARE discovering things, but people just don't get how important those things are in context of where they are finding them. We need a space Columbus, a ULYSSES 31...

it wasn't Justin Timerlake, it was another one form the band...N*SYNC wasn't it?

Anyway, he didn't have enough money to go through with it. ha ha.

I like the idea of Justin Timberlake being led to his seat on the shuttle, being sat down by the astronauts, left alone before realising he's been placed directly under the rocket boosters 20 seconds before launch.

I do like the idea of firing Justin Timberlake into the inky vastness of nothing and watching him flail, Draco style, until he collides with space-debris and explodes in a pulped yam of gut-red.

I'm going home to have a fight with a donkey that is lurking around our garage.
Damn dirty pack mules

They both have nice colours

Nice colourful supernovas and galaxies and stuff in space

Nice colourful fish and coral and stuff in seas

I like nice colours

Weren't they going to send Justin Timberlake into space? Timing, people, timing.

Not if you watch The Blue Planet it's not.

Besides, when did massive ant-people ever come from the sea with a wish to enslave us to toil in their salt mines?
All the world's wackos claim space-travel is possible and blah blah, yet very nutters claim the sea hold the answer.

The sea is just calmer and provokes less tin-foil beanie wearers than space.

" We found a worm on Mars, it only costs us billions "

Still exploring space is cool... it's more fun than the oceans.

NASA "We have discovered...ice! Ice on Mars!"
Sea Bloke "I found this city, full of topless birds that wanted me"

*stampede to scuba-shop*

NASA "But...ice...frozen water on Mars..."

It would be ironic if $10000000000 is spent exploring Space and some dude in his mini-sub (built for £50 on scrapheap challenge) discovers the City of the mermaids with dubious morality. Then NASA's claim, that discovering that there really isn't life on Mars, was worthwile, will be completely drowned out by the bloke coming to the surface with the catch of the century.

All my eyes will be weeping when that happens.
