Politics in open space

How many times a word "Russian" was repeated in this article?
"Russian computers", "Russian oxygen machine"...

Whereas a damage of the thermal blanket protecting the shuttle from the intense heat of re-entering the atmosphere (I've understood, this is a number from NASA's segment) has a pretty natural origin, since the balnket "was loosened by aerodynamic forces during lift-off".

Is there any space in the Universe to be free from hysteria and politics?

Human, all too human...

No, this is not about a masterpiece of the greatest mind (F.Nietzsche).
This is about a president of World Bank unduly promoting his female partner (see about her "hefty pay rise" etc. here) and then, when caught, saying something incomprehensive that "he had been in uncharted waters in his new job and would follow the recommendations proposed by the board".
So, do we still need "recommendations " for integrity?

Let's save the planet instead...

Unbeleivable!
Is it yet another evidence of TB's descending his political ladder or we have to cheer up the new star on the Hollywood horizon?

Mr.Schwarzenegger is gaining weight anyway...

I left more comments on Nick's blog.

Do British people have a voice?

What impressed me in this post on the Nick Robinson's BBC Weblog is, actually, not the contents of the post itself (we all knew about the "poodle factor" in British politics way before!) but the comments to it.

Once again I've seen that people in the UK are very much concerned with their country's past, present and future, and they cannot watch indifferently how the current government obediently follows the US President's bold line to destroy the world with his Cold War tactics. They are sincere and open end express their thoughts on the BBC Weblog with a confidence and involvment of the true patriots of their country.

One of the respondents wrote that the Blair/Bush meeting at the White House is "just a way to make Blair more comfortable with his alliance and the British people feel like we have a voice when we have nothing of the sort".

No, it's not true. British people do have a voice and should be proud of it. And Mr.Blair will never feel comfortable with any alliance as long as he works for this country and the people of this country do not share his views and choices and, what's more important, do not keep quite about it.
