Let's Play Space
Brentwood , Tennessee - BVD went to hear the astrobiologists Todd Gary speak to kids at Edmondson Elementary school.
BVD : Hey Gary , what you are saying is nice and all that , butt I remember similar talk being said to the school kids while this country had a successful Gemini program going and we had Mars trips on the agenda. Today , NASA can't launch the shuttle without a piece of plastic foam knocking it out of the sky. And , NASA recently stated they have wasted 30 years of time and money to accomplish nothing. They even went so far ass to admit William Shatner accomplished more in space while standing on the ground we call earth. So , why are you here ?
Gary : NASA gave me money to go around all these schools and take them out of the classroom and feed them a bunch of crap.
BVD : Is'nt it true , the next generation in space will be the Chinese ?
Gary : Yeah , probably
BVD : I don't see any Chinese in here. Should'nt you be speaking to them instead and let these kids get back to their texting and other non essential school activities ?
Gary : Hm.....you have a point there. You know what ? You're right . Besides , I've never been to China , or even into space for that matter.
BVD : You've never been into space and here you are talking about it ?
Gary : Well , someone needs to don't you think ?
BVD : Excuse me , I'm downloading my Itunes
