Sol Duc April Fool Registered: 06/18/01 Posts: 15727	We landed on a comet. Just imagine the math involved in doing something like this.

BroodBuster River Nutrients Registered: 07/11/04 Posts: 3091 Loc: Bothell, Wa	Are you European now? Or is we as in "we the people of Earth?" So now America, supposedly the greatest nation on Earth, is running in what fifth or sixth place in space exploration! Even Pakistan is doing more in space than the good 'ol USA. But at least we can still rent space on Russian rockets!! Having said that gotta give credit to the ESA as that is a pretty cool feat. I guess when you don't have to spend money on wars and spying you can spend money on cool sh!t that may actually help mankind one day! _________________________ "Government does not solve problems; it subsidizes them."
