. But
of course we have lotsa big computers now, so that's all right, and the
predictions must therefore be much more reliable and accurate. GIGO.

Well things do change, Galileo was eventually proved correct (more or
less):


HA HA HA. Remember back in the 70's when scientists thought Pluto was a
planet? I mean, how can you take all this "earth revolves around the sun"
nonsense seriously when even the scientists themselves can't figure out
whether there are 8 or 9 or 11 or 53 planets. C'mon guys!

It's just ridiculous. And until they can get their story straight, I'll
continue to believe that the earth is flat. Stupid stupid stupid
scientists and that stupid liberal media that prints whatever stupid stuff
they say.

Fortunately we have usenet to tell us the truth.

Remember back in the 60's when all we had was stoopid slide rules?

Man went to the moon, Saturn V fly successfully every time. Designed with
slide rules and noisy analog computers.

Today, we have tremendous computing power, tremendous knowledge of
aeronautics. The space shuttle can only fly a few miles on earth, has killed
more astronauts than all other space vehicles combined and it sits on the
ground.

Haven't been to the moon since we stopped using slide rules.

It isn't the slide rules that killed space exploration.

It was simply the politization of science.

Unfortunately the politization of Science that feeds and growths the Global
Warming Myth may kill us all.
