The Blob

This is Hugh Mann, again, just back from Los Alamos National Laboratory covering some sensational new developments in quantum physics, and bringing you some breaking news from Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama, where a wild party has broken out in the engineer’s cafeteria, and now the entire student intern section of the lunch room has gotten involved in the festivities, and it’s moved outdoors into the picnic tables in the back. Cigars are being passed around and lit up in complete violation of NASA employee conduct codes. Something really big is going on here folks.

What I am hearing from the elated engineers is that apparently the director of MSFC has announced to the staff that they have received a fat juicy government contract to build an Ares 2-X heavy lift demonstrator flight test article for a first flight some time in the far distant future, using some leftover rocket engines, boosters, external tankage, avionics and spare parts unused from the previous and highly successful Ares I-X test flight last October 28th.

And in one fell swoop he struck down any remaining industry delusions of pesky heavy lift trade studies and analyses which never lead to the predetermined answer they are seeking, freeing up an additional $8 million dollars in make or break funding for this herculean effort, declaring definitively – “We don’t need to study it anymore.” Yes folks, that’s right, the Jesus Rocket has won the heavy lift competition, hands down. What a glorious day this is.

It’s going to be a wild party here this weekend. I’m not going to get anything done on my SACD-1 request for information, so I may as well just join in on the festivities and partake in some of that free food and beverages, and tomorrow I’ll be sure to thank Jesus himself.

I honestly can’t remember a celebration of faith and hope this exciting since the director of the space shuttle program stated in his Augustine committee testimony that “reusability is a myth”. And I’m proud to say that in America, everyone is entitled to their own opinion, and everyone has a right shout it loudly, no matter how contradictory or ludicrous it may sound.

Ignorance is not knowing something, stupidity is not admitting your ignorance.
