Watch apolo 13. In it someone asks why the space programs is continued now that we beat the russians to the moon. He replies saying what if columbus had reached america, but noone came back.

that's a stupid quote...no offense. i mean, people didn't know about america and thought the world was flat blah blah blah. we knew the moon existed, and it had shiit on it. so if the apollo 13 hadn't come back, it wouldn't have mattered. i mean besides the lives of the people on board. but that aside...</p>

<p>Why does Maria Sharapova shreak like a wounded yeti every time she returns a hit (tennis)?</p>

<p>It's not scary/intimidating, it's effin hilarious...and disgusting.</p>

<p>And about the space thing. There are hundreds of things we use in every day life that wouldn't exist if not for the space program. </p>

<p>I've read that for every dollar we put into the space program, $8 goes back into the economy from those products.</p>

nasa is extremely underfunded

<p>If NASA is underfunded, the Department of Education is NOT funded. We can afford bombs that turn cities into parking lots but we can't afford markers (or working computers for that matter) for classrooms.</p>

<p>Why can we afford bombs that cost billions of dollars that turn cities into parking lots (actually just destroy cities) when we can't even afford markers (by the way they cost less than $10 for a package of dozen in RETAIL...with economies of scale like the DOE I'm sure they could get them for a lot less...like $.50 per marker) for public school classrooms?</p>

<p>katho,
like what? besides satellites for communication and stuff. seriously, i'd like to know. i'm not being obnoxious. and what exactly did the landing on the moon do? besides landing on the moon. i mean, that's incredible and all, but how exactly did it make a difference?</p>

haha. well, it actually helps to grunt a little when you strike the ball. exhaling makes your muscles relax and not tense up which can mess up your stroke. this goes for any excercise really. like push up...exhale going down and inhale goin up. </p>

<p>also, it's hard ass work to hit the ball as hard as she hits it. but she does exaggerate. and you'd be surprised how many of her opponents are affected by it. some may be intimidated to a degree. i mean, a 6'2'' russian teenager screaming isn't exactly relaxing. and it's friggin annoying as hell too. it def throws a lot of her opponents off rhythm if they are already frustrated that they're losing. that's intimidation in a less direct form...kind of. </p>

<p>a lot of her opponents have complained (mostly after matches) about her yell b/c it IS over the top most of the time, and it doesn't allow her opponents to hear how the ball is being struck, which i can say does help when you're playing that level of tennis. not to say i'm pro. haha,psh. i just play college level and know enough to know it can make a difference. </p>

<p>but i'd just hit a drop shot, make her come to the net, and then aim for her throat. that'd shut her up.</p>

<p>Nasa only gets around 1% of the Federal Budget...when put in perspective, they don't get crap.</p>

<p>::edit::</p>

<p>This site has a fairly good listing.</p>

<p>If I were her opponent and was annoyed, I'd most likely make obnoxious yells back...now this could either make me better (since I'm driven by stress) or throw me off. I get that...but gah...yeti, I'm telling you!</p>

<p>^what the fu.ck?</p>

<p>I know...he's junking up every thread with that mess.</p>

<p>The first (and only) animal I've hit while driving was a crow. The stupid thing flew right into me. Anyway, it didn't die.</p>

<p>Easily put, FeR is wrong. Birds don't die. Hobos eat dandelions.</p>

<p>I did the same thing. Well, not me..my Dad was driving on the free way and I was in the seat next to him talking. He gt distracted and looked at me for a second, when, out of nowhere a huge ugly looking crow slammed right into the wind shield!! The glass didn't break, but the crow sure did! It tumbled and tumbled until it cam to a complete stop right in the middle of the roaf</p>

<p>I don't know why they had to kill off Gogo in Kill Bill Vol.1</p>

<p>Well some public schools can afford nice things. Investing in military weapons is a invest that the entire country of 300,000 feels, whereas only about 300 or so get directly impacted by the acquisition of markers.</p>

</p>

<p>People like me, who drive with road rage, (hell im from jersey) have simple goals. We want to get to our destination in the shortest amount of time while not getting a ticket, or in an accident. Horns alert people who are backing out in the middle of the blvd that **** I'M DRIVING HERE, motherfather. You slow pokes get in our way.</p>

<p>space exploration annoys me. why dont we use that money here on earth...our home planet.</p>
