Thats worse then Saddam Insane could ever kill. Im surprized George Bush hasnt tried to go to war with these guys, but that would mean he would actually find a WMD.

If you knew anything about science you'd understand that they can't really create anything on earth that would do such things. Leave it to the religious community to scare people out of believing in science and instead believe in religion... Creation vs. evolution all over again.

Good ol Kennedy space center... Kinda a fun tour but you dont get to really see anything up close. Just a model of the Apollo rocket which is ginormous. I think it was somthing like 97% of the mass of the rocket was fuel, the remaining 3% was for the living space and equipment.

Here is an updated article on the start of The Grid set to turn fully on when the LHC goes online.

"At speeds about 10,000 times faster than a typical broadband connection, “the grid” will be able to send the entire Rolling Stones back catalogue from Britain to Japan in less than two seconds."

This video brings it all together and puts it in perspective for everyone.
As we strive to learn more about the universe around us some things more obvious beg to be understood.
