Is NASA still open? i thought Trump shut that place down that stupid already..as it should. Is NASA still trying to milk Mars?

NASA wants to Milk Mars for all it's got even if nothing is there...what are they going to do, go back to the Moon????

NASA needs a new ...hook.


Why don't NASA simply build a flying saucer and put in an alien in it, wisk it by the earth and
let it crash on earth.


You can take a big fish and clone it with a pig or monkey or something...you know, it's not hard to
make an alien.


Don't you guys watch The Outer Limits?

If you watch the episodes of the outer limits, then you will a better understanding of how the 'scientific community' works.
