|
| I have a friend who'd like to have a Pac-Man cake topper on her wedding cake, ideally in the form of a sculpture of Mr. and Ms. Pac-Man, perhaps with a love-you heart of some kind. Any suggestions? These aren't LEGO-savvy people, so a LEGO-based (...) (20 years ago, 23-Jul-04, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

As for ObNASA's I did consider including some but (...) (20 years ago, 23-Jul-04, to lugnet.admin.general, lugnet.admin.nntp, lugnet.off-topic.geek, FTX)

| Don't you think it is a little embarassing that the thread is now 75% administration Lar? I pushed "nested inline" in the expectation of lots of juicy NASA stuff. You didn't even include an "ob NASA" anywhere. :( You must go back N levels to (...) (20 years ago, 23-Jul-04, to lugnet.admin.general, lugnet.admin.nntp, lugnet.off-topic.geek, FTX)

| (...) Shuttle = great idea in 1972, ridiculous albatross in 2004. You're undoubtedly right about the $4.3B being spent before a single SRB is lit. What really bugs me is the systematic way they're trying to kill all manned spaceflight by unfunding (...) (20 years ago, 22-Jul-04, to lugnet.off-topic.geek, FTX)

Look at House Majority Leader Tom DeLay's comments in these articles: (2 URLs) He's quoted as calling the proposed NASA budget cuts as "unacceptable" and followed that by saying, "It would be very hard to get this bill to (...)

It also allows a greater variety of ideas to be explored, since noone has to justify experimenting (...) (20 years ago, 21-Jul-04, to lugnet.off-topic.geek, FTX)
