C’mon, folks! We have got to do better than this!

This is from a story in Science-Reuters – which is one of them thar Euro companies. They probably speak with funny accents.
It’s a trifle of a story; nothing really. Just our heroic and brilliant astronauts being brought home in a fucking circa 1970 space capsule with a fucking parachute tied to it like some kind of god-damned pre-teen bicycle decoration from the Fifties like when Eisenhower was President!!!!!
This is ridiculous! It’s 2008, folks! The space shuttle itself is as obsolete as my stereo amplifier, but it lands with wings – like, in flying! We’re supposed to be flying!
Instead, we’re hitching rides with the Ruskies in Apollo-type spam-in-a-can capsules, like we were 3rd-class peasants come home from market!?!
We need to blow up all our enemies so we can use the excess money we’re now spending (while not blowing them up) on upgrades to our space program. We are a laughingstock! The Indians are on the way to the friggin’ Moon, as I speak, folks! Yeah – they’re getting there with rockets, but they’re NEW rockets.
Gak.

Wow. Now is the moment when I would have to grit my teeth and …
Teeth!
Ah! Here:

How ’bout them choppers? Nothin’ wrong here. The last two photos are from Break.com – of course.
