An admirable institution that I've not joined as of yet.
But for $30 bucks a year they do a hell of a lot of good stuff.

Are you really?
NASA, etc really need to start screening the people building these things more carefully. Seems like something on an elementary level of stupid always screws up the entire show. I do hope they can salvage this one though...
Nasa wasn't involved with this mission. They're interested in the results though.

It went FTL. That's why we can't find it.

I hope you weren't correcting me. I asked because I wasn't clear that's what his abbreviation meant.

I told him to read riddla's article because at the time they had detected Cosmos 1 and it seemed recoverable.

Las night he could not make it
he tried hard but could not make it
last night he could not make it
on a holiday
for many miles
looking for a place to stay
near some friendly star
he found this mote
and now we wonder where we are
how could this so great
turn so shitty
he ended up in army crates
and photographs in files
his tiny boat
sparked as he turned to grazed our city
i started driving on the motorway
i was feeling down
last night he could not make it
last night he could not make it
he tried hard but he could not make it
last night he could not make it
on a holiday
so many miles
looking for a place to stay
near some friendly star
he found this mote
and now we wonder
how could this so great
turn so shit
he ended up in army crates
and photographs in files
his tiny boat
sparked as he grazed it
he started heading for the motorway
and he came right now.
