    lets just hope the folks responsible for this unforgettable moment aint in charge.. :eek:


    CNN - NASA's metric confusion caused Mars orbiter loss

    and they entertain the idea of moving the earth to another orbit.. lunacy indeed..

    This sounds like the worst idea ever.

    it's nor far fetched to do it.

    they only care about if it's possible, not if it should be done, they're engineers, they know other people will make the "should it be done" decisions.

    and they figure they should work out the trickier bits in preparation for someone higher up asking for a plan.


    it's also a plan we've been considering for terraforming venus.

    We should just turn the whole planet into a spaceship and tour the universe for the best spot.

    The plan sounds very plausible if they could get it to work. Steering comets sounds like a pretty precise science though, no margin for error.

    the culture at nasa is unique, it's not going downhill, it's actually a good thing that they aren't afraid to say "well, this'd work....."

    While focusing on NASA's brilliance, who can forget this lovely image?

    Yeah...NASA doesn't hold much credibility with me.

    You're an assistant manager.

    can you guarantee me that everyone who works under you does their job, all the time? completely?

    every burger is made exactly to spec, every fry, is precisely within DQ standards?

    You've never had any problem with your subordinates?

    lol...The difference is that I don't have people's lives so tightly in my hands. And I really don't care that much about my job...To compare NASA and the piece of crap job I have is ludicrous. I never once said I could do better, but I'm still saying, I sure as hell wouldn't fly to space with them.

    I think that may be a result of moving it anyway...

    I'm just saying.

    it's REALLY hard to do something 100%, and you do have to remember that when challenger happened a LOT of shit was outsourced to private contractors.

    the people who fucked up were NOT NASA

    they were people who sold shit to NASA.

    100% is impossible under the best of conditions.

    it's not a NASA fault, it's a human fault.

    I'd say. Can we get them moved to a "unique" planet? As in, any planet other than this one?

    :cheers2: Memories... :rolleyes:

    All the more reason not to let any large organization fuck with important shit that has no margin for error. You just made a perfect case against yourself.
