NASA joins choir of global warming alarmists

NASA is planning to launch its Orbiting Carbon Observatory presumably to lie more about climate change than ever before. Contractor Orbital Sciences got the money to build the thing. Curiously, they also got the money to launch the thing, from Vandenburg AFB, so, presumably into a Sun-synchronous orbit. Assuming their solid-fuel Taurus rocket works, the satellite's single point of failure instrument is to measure global atmospheric carbon dioxide. We're reminded that it was NASA data which had a Y2K bug exaggerating global warming. (So 1934 was the warmest on record.) NASA delenda est.

NASA budgets return to Moon

Stewart Powell over at Chron.com says NASA has a budget of $17.3 billion per year, which reminds us to ask what do we get for our money? Also, NASA plans to continue wasting money on another "men to the Moon" project to pretend they can get there by 2020 until the new president offers further direction. NASA delenda est.
