Tsk, tsk.

Really, Sylvie. Snorting is decidedly unladylike. Perhaps an imperious "Ha!" would be more appropriate.

I was thinking that maybe we could convince these genetic treasures that, rather than merely donating samples of their DNA, they could launch the whole package, complete, off into deep space for the benefit of humanity, if not the would-be recipients. Or would that be littering?

Plus-minus

It's all fine and well if private companies sell this kind of nonsense to rich half-wits, but ISS? is that what we pay taxes for?
Of course if ISS astronauts have access they can nudge it into the atmosphere for a fiery conclusion I guess, accidents do happen.

More Nonsense

What pompous chooms!

Maybe we can get them to donate ALL of their DNA; remove it from the global gene pool.

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?
