Cool picture of the landing site makes APOD today:

You can see the burn marks made by the stage that dropped it off.

Who?

"I supported Bush in 2000 and 2004 and intellegence [sic] had very little to do with that decision." - Hero

Mitt Romney, introducing his running mate: "Join me in welcoming the next President of the United States, Paul Ryan!"

Rappy's response? "You're lying, gullible ( believing in some BS you heard on msnbc ) or hard of hearing."

Every political leader DOES do that, and yet you felt the need to omit criticizing those on the Left for doing exactly what those on the Right do.

I don't care if elected officials talks to Mr Hat, as long as they can cut back on the lunacy of massive debt that's accumulated.

And why the hell did YOU feel it necessary to interject politics and religion into a thread concerning the Mars Curiosity landing?

Troll much ?

And while you're at it, can you show me how a Mars mission is in any way a proper function of government? I mean, I know *I* dig space exploration, but all you "small gubmint!" types really have no place being happy about this mission, do you?

Yes, we do have a place in being happy about this. Roads and bridges are to the benefit of all, as well as a standing military, for the common defense. I approve of this type of spending, as it doesn't infringe onto the rights of any others, and benefits ALL humanity, not just US citizens.

Technically speaking, no, it doesn't fall in w/ what the Founding Fathers might have viewed as " the proper function of govt ", but hey... sometimes you gotta say " What the fuck ".

Fathom the hypocrisy of a government that requires every citizen to prove they are insured... but not everyone must prove they are a citizen

And you felt the need to omit any criticism of those on the right for doing it, and singling out and ridiculing one person for it.

Troll much?

Most of which was accumulated under GOP leadership, by the way. You routinely fail to mention that, and you routinely follow GOP leaders who claim that "deficits don't matter." So you don't care who they're talking to, as long as they're speaking your language, eh?

Does NASA not spend taxpayer money on these missions? That makes it political. If you have a problem with religion being brought up in a discussion about science, take it up with your political party and tell them to knock that shit off.

Did you just imply that "you didn't build that"?

How does a Mars mission aid the common defense? You're not so stupid as to believe we're being invaded by Martians, are you? (I'm honestly not sure anymore when it comes to what level of lunacy you'll believe)

So you're fine with blowing taxpayer money on stuff just because you get off on it, regardless of whether or not it's a legitimate government function. Just not when it comes to the health of the American people. Got it.

I see you can't help yourself in trolling more and more, to crap on the theme of this thread, simply because you're such a small minded, bitter individual.

A complete and total lie, by the way. But that's what you do. Say and post anything, no matter how wrong, twisted or distorted from reality.

Meh.

Glad we're on Mars again, props to NASA, for doing what it was DESIGNED to do, ( and not teach Muslim nations to feel good about themselves ) and here's to continued success for Curiosity and her team !

OMG. Why does every single fucking thread turn into you two getting it on?

Talk about how cool the Mars landing is, or go get a room in troll land. This is ridiculous.
