If that was true there would be women in my couch cushions and $100 bills in between my toes.

Why does the solar wind slow down? I thought that it was at the speed of light forever.

"stupid things like fighting wars." ???? Oh really? You do realize how much technology is all around us that came solely from the need for better ways of killing each other?There are those people who say "what good does exploring space do?" And that we should be focusing on stuff relevant to us here on Earth. And then we tell them that there are an average of 18 pieces of technology that come straight from NASA in every room of your house. Or something like that. Well it's the same with wars. Instead of just sitting here thinking "oh I'll try figuring that out later" we're forced to figure it out right away.
