Best of all, her eyes are the color of Magnesium Iron Silicate.
 
Physics news on Phys.org
The budget of 900 million dollars and the auto-eject were my favorites. :biggrin:
 
As funny as this is...this is exactly how they plan and execute! To bad it will cost $900M ;)
 
The team is in the early stages of the development of a joke with which to break the ice. :smile:

They are leaning toward 'a casual observation about socks disappearing in a dryer', which leads to a black-hole analogy, which opens up a discussion on space, about which NASA scientists feel comfortable talking. :rolleyes:

This reminds me of the Big Bang Theory.

First question from the audience is about "risking another tragedy."

I once had a girlfriend with eyes the color of iron oxide hydroxide.

And like the mineral, her luster was earthy to dull and cleavage was absent.
 
I hadn't realized the Onion has started doing videos. That was great.
 
hahaha .. "the 2002 girl at Border's book store disaster".
 
Well at least the HST is there in case of total mission failure!
 
"...it was found to be infeasible and just stupid, really...Stupid."

That comment about the high resolution photos from the Hubble had me on the floor.
