more NASA goodness


The New York Times reports that NASA is responding to the shuttle difficulties like good and proper engineers: by saying fuck it and returning to an old design.

Yup, it's the old Apollo program look. 30 years and a semi-infinite amount of money later, and we're going right back to the Apollo rockets.

My prediction is that in five years we'll be sending people into orbit via catapult.

I guess it makes sense to go back to an Apollo-like design, since GW wants to beat the dirty red chinese to the moon.

Here's what the NASA thought process was:

1) The space program was really popular back in them Apollo days.

2) The Apollo design is extremely phallic looking.

3) People love the phallus.

4) Going back to the Apollo design will make people excited again (If you catch my drift).
