Where Tax Dollars Go

From David's Inbox: "Keep Paying Your Taxes"

When NASA engineers first started sending up astronauts,

they quickly discovered that ball-point pens would not

work in zero gravity.


To combat this problem, NASA scientists spent a decade

and $12 billion developing a pen that writes in zero

gravity, upside down, underwater, on almost any surface

including glass and at temperatures ranging from below

freezing to over 300 C.


The Russians used a pencil.


Keep paying your taxes..

"Space my be the final frontier but it's made in a hollywood basement." Actually it was made in a New Jersey basement. This whole 'moon landing' thing is crap, it was a home video for my third grade science project.
