Sure, the space program has given us countless discoveries that have made all our lives easier and better, but it didn't stop those idiots from flying planes into the WTC and Pentagon. Just a thought...

Hey now comon! It really is very important to research the effects of weightlessness on ant farms (or whatever they are doing up there). Also important for marketers of various non-stick / heatproof household items. How else could they use the tag line "developed in conjunction with NASA"?
Now if "The Habibs" managed to fly the space shuttle into a building I must admit I would have a hard time not seeing the humour in that.......
