Don't Want to be...

I figured out why Europeans hate Americans so much. Despise us, if you will. I guess the rest of the world hates us too, but I’m gonna be particular right now. I was getting my news from BBC (Once you go BBC, you never go back) and reading up on the failed launch attempt of the space shuttle when I saw this intriguing quote…

Hahahaha. Oh snaps to you Orson for figuring out why they hate us so much. That was quite hilarious. They find the most retarded people to do quotes. They should get gov't people instead. Because they might actually know what they're talking about.

I got a D in Trig!!

I have a strange feeling that man isn't very dumb. He isn't very articulate, but thats not his job. His job is to build rockets and crap or to manage the building of them. And to assume that a person is an idiot just because they said the phrase "aww shucks" makes you look stupid. Just because a person isn't very good with words doesn't mean they are dumb.

or, the NASA manager was being facetious.

Besides, I'm sure he had a lot more to say than what was quoted. Probably a lot of technical issues that would be too confusing to quote? I mean, what would you have said in the situation? I think it is safe to assume that he was pretty disappointed; there's not much need to say anything else. All that norwegian guy did was string together a few "well-worded" cliches without really saying much than, as they quote in bold, "space exploration benefits everybody."
