So, according to this morning’s Gazette, lunar colonization appears to be a matter of fiscal responsibility:
NASA will delay the first manned flight of Orion, the new spacecraft designed to take humans back to the moon because of budget constraints, the agency’s boss said.
Lynn Truss would have a field day.
Ah, reminds me of that Douglas Adams story about 1/3 of the population getting shipped to another planet!
Too bad Howard Richler isn’t off somewhere plagiarising other peoples’ work, he might have caught this.
Unless, of course, he was demoted to proofreader, and this one got by him.
That is so funny.
I was once let go from a job due to budget cuts; this seems a bit…extreme.
