Robo, how about taking time to at least give a brief synopsis of what this is :o clicking the link does
not give any info other than an announcement date for something called space poop? Really? Is it something to do with Zorgon's space critters and their orbiting piles of poop?

Thank you, Rdunk; I get wiggy when I see anyone post a link (especially if it is an OP) and nothing else... if you are going to post about something, talk about it and at least give the reader a clue what the hell it is about...
Seeker
Isn't the fact that you can't drop one in space without wearing it is a good argument to stay home? :P
Seeker,you are absolutely correct.my bad.
I had just got my net back up and was about to crash for the day but i checkd my email and saw their excuse.
I said that back last month,they had 3000 entries when i dumped my idea on them.
Looks like they got a shitload of entries there.
To you guys at nasa reading this,what did you expect?
The american public is starving while yall try to figure out how to crap?
Must be nice to have a fat paycheck.
