That one post that was all science-y

With the sad news that the moon landing budget is being slashed, I thought some links with a science tinge would be warranted.

• Humanity almost didn't make it!
• Global Warming doesn't mean no more winter!
• How to fall 35k feet...and survive!

I know a lot of people think that trying to go to moon again is a waste. I think they are gravely mistaken, I know there are terrestrial problems that are pressing and need solutions/money. But the mission and purpose of NASA is more then just a monetary issue. NASA's purpose is to inspire. Not to turn a profit. It is an argument to our better angels, what we can be, and what we hope to be.

Also it is a chance for me to get super-powers.
