Scary stuff:
"Through all its vehicle development programs since the Shuttle, NASA's record has been perfect: they've cancelled every one," said Foundation Board Member John Cserep. "We've seen no reason to believe NASA has learned the lessons of its many failed efforts, and every reason to expect that the taxpayers are going to lose billions of more dollars on another fruitless program."

Hilarisch grappig! En het zou allemaal kunnen gebeuren!
Tiens, ik was er eerder bij dan CNN :)
Maar zij hebben wel veel meer details. Goed nieuws: Order of the Phoenix zal meer dan 30% langer zijn dan Goblet of Fire. Vreemd: geen woord over twee versies.
Nice:
Israel is embarking upon a more aggressive approach to the war on terror that will include staging targeted killings in the United States and other friendly countries, former Israeli intelligence officials told United Press International.
Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon has forbidden the practice until now, these sources said, speaking on condition of anonymity.
The Israeli statements were confirmed by more than a half dozen former and currently serving U.S. foreign policy and intelligence officials in interviews with United Press International. [UPI]
Hmm, men zou 11 lege koppen voor chemische raketten gevonden hebben in Irak. Genoeg voor de VS om een aanval te lanceren zeker? Zoals The Onion zei: Bush on North Korea: "We Must Invade Iraq"
Coca-Cola koopt Chaudfontaine!
Alle Belgische kerncentrales (goed voor 57% van onze energie) moeten binnen uiterlijk 22 jaar dicht zijn! Zeer grappig. Niet haalbaar, zeggen alle experten. Neen, zegt Olivier Deleuze, wel haalbaar. Te beginnen met 3% van de energievoorziening uit windmolens en de rest uit, eum, gascentrales. Never mind dat gascentrales CO2 uitstoten. Oh well.
Pijn. Ai. Slecht.
En mijn mail lezen heeft er niet veel aan geholpen.
Bin Laden is inderdaad meer dan compleet geslaagd in zijn opzet: er is helemaal niemand of niets meer nodig om de VS in paniek te krijgen. Ze doen het gewoon zelf. Iemand vergeet een formulier in te vullen en heel de VS staan op zijn kop.
Ziek.
John Le Carré in The Times:
America has entered one of its periods of historical madness, but this is the worst I can remember: worse than McCarthyism, worse than the Bay of Pigs and in the long term potentially more disastrous than the Vietnam War.
The reaction to 9/11 is beyond anything Osama bin Laden could have hoped for in his nastiest dreams. As in McCarthy times, the freedoms that have made America the envy of the world are being systematically eroded. The combination of compliant US media and vested corporate interests is once more ensuring that a debate that should be ringing out in every town square is confined to the loftier columns of the East Coast press.
