Dusting Off An Old Satellite
The president's 2014 budget request includes a plan to dust off an old satellite. It calls for $35 million to refurbish a bird once championed by Vice President Al Gore. The Bush administration shelved the project in 2001. The satellite has sat in a NASA storage locker ever since. If Congress approves, it would be launched by the Air Force. It would park in a spot of equal gravity between the Earth and the sun, and send warnings of sunspots. It was originally designed to detect climate change, a pet concern of Gore's. Under the new plan, the satellite would be operated by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
I'm sure Gore has some type of residual clause for this. He should be rewarded for pulling off the greatest sham in history, and profiting.
ReplyDeleteI can think of a lot more things in need of dusting.
