The McBournie Minute: Astronauts

We have officially hit the end of experiments we can do on the International Space Station. After 27ish years of shuttle flights, Skylab, Mir and so on, we are bored in space.

If memory serves me, on the next flight up, one of the astronauts is going to hit a golf ball in space as part of a promotion for a golf company. And as we found out last week, an astronaut on the International Space Station is going to run the Boston Marathon in space--except not on Boston time and she'll be miles above the Earth.

There's no more experimentation going on anymore. It's all just repairing things and shifting out crew. We seem to have done all we can with what we have. That is why I think we need to invade Mars. If science fiction is any indication, that planet is filled with evil aliens both intelligent and not-intelligent. But they are all willing us harm.

Might as well call them Al-ien Qaeda. Since we have run out of things to do in space. It is about time we kicked some ass (see Moonraker). Who's with me?
