Sure, I'll call my friend Bill.

 

[FredGarvin]

Wholly crap. Even if I had the money, I still don't think I could do it through the Russians.

 

[Gagan A]

Catch Osama. I am sure you would get enough money to do the spacewalk at least 10 times.

Hmmm...15 million to you to a rope and push you out into space? Nah, I don't think it's worth it.

 

[Danger]

It might be worth it to send Yomamma.





Do we really need the rope?

 

[neutrino]

Have penguins been to space before? :P

 

[hypatia]

Sensible Good gods man, we work in universities!

Scientists are NOT sensible. If we were, we would have been bussiness majors. No expense or effort is to great to tap into that great spirit of discovery. Which going into space really does well.
