news.yahoo.com/s/usatoday/20050729/cm_usatoday/isspaceoriraqthesmarterinvestment• NASA's budget for this year is $16.2 billion. Human exploration of the moon and Mars over the next 40 years is estimated to cost about $150 billion. • The budget for Iraq this year is $77 billion. We've spent more than $200 billion in Iraq since the war began in 2003. Ok... So we have already paid for manned trips to the moon, and a manned trip to Mars... And all we have to show for it is a death count of nearly 2000 Americans, uncounted maimed and disabled... And uncounted civilian casualties (the US government has classified Iraqi civilian casualties). We are getting a lot of blood for our money. How nice of them to be so progressive.

Take the anger out here... Let go... Into the unkown.  This false-color image shows comet Tempel 1 about 50 minutes after Deep Impact's probe smashed into its surface. The impact site is located on the far side of the comet in this view. The image was taken by the mission's flyby spacecraft as it turned back to face the comet for one last photo opportunity. The colors represent brightness, with white indicating the brightest materials and black showing the faintest materials. This brightness is a measure of reflected sunlight. Because the sunlit portion of the comet is brighter, it appears white. The comet's nucleus is silhouetted against the light reflected from surrounding dust. The large plume of dust that was kicked up upon impact can be seen as the colorful, drop-shaped object. This plume was very bright, indicating that the comet's surface material must be very fine, like talcum powder. The blue speck in the upper left corner is a star. This picture was taken by Deep Impact's high-resolution camera. Image credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech/UMD |
