AIMLESSLY UNBALANCED

Vanderbilt University - Today , in an unprecidented announcement , NASA told the world that Vanderbilt University in co-operation with Cumberland University , will be doing all work on the upcoming URANUS series manned moon shots.
In it's State of Space address , NASA had told President Obama , that for the last 30 years , NASA had been spinning it's rockets on the obsurd. The only way to procure further funding to keep NASA alive was to have a "man in the moon project." The cost was projected to exceed 100 BILLION dollars ( that's spelled with a B ) which was considered cheap when compared to Pentagon spending for one day in the Caribbean.
Vanderbilt announced concurrently , that Chairman Thackston would take charge in this most important project ever , since he almost became Tennessee's Governor.
Chairman Thackston made his claim to fame when , ass a Vanderbilt grad student , he worked on an important environmental research project to determine soil infiltration thru human osmosis. In 30 days , he spent 10 million dollars to prove water flows down hill. Although this had nothing to do with the research , which was inconclusive , Thackston worded the final report in such a way that no one could tell the difference and was thus enviously elevated to the status of Chairman of the Engineering School which finally led to his being given the Chairmanship of Cumberland University
Although initial testing by Thackston has shown 100 BILLION dollars would be a mere drop in the bucket needed , NASA assured Vanderbilt that money was no object. NASA realized it was past time to do something now that the last shuttle flight was about to take off , leaving NASA without a way to put a man into space.
