ROCKET GOES UP, ROCKET GOES DOWN
NASA has reported that a zillion dollar satellite that was to measure carbon dioxide levels in the Earths atmosphere, didn't quite make it. Instead, it burned up in a fiery ball. When NASA was asked to explain what happened in terms most members of Congress could understand NASA responded, "the shinny thing fell down".

The Obama administration has decided to continue to fund President Bush's trek back to the moon. A new, simple low cost method will be used to get man back to the moon by 2020. The treasury is going to pile up all of its soon to be near worthless thousand dollar bills. A similar strategy to put humans on Mars is being discussed by top minds in the government. One NASA scientist put it this way, "the physics of inflation infinitely beats E=MC squared".
