Space Waste Kills

The media refuses to question any of humanity's absurd space projects.
Dollar Bill was a major supporter of wasteful space projects while Africa,
Kosovo, and Indonesia fall apart because we can't afford a world police force.
Bush is continuing the idiocy w/ NMD and Net-Centric.

Downtown San Francisco

Posted on: Thursday, 11 November 2004, 08:15 CST
San Francisco is one of the largest cities in the United States. Roughly three quarters
of a million people live within the city proper, with about seven million within the
broader metropolitian area. The city predates the gold rush of 1849, but as a
port city on the way to the California gold fields, San Francisco saw explosive
population growth after the first discoveries were announced. By 1869,
it was connected to the Eastern cities by railroad, and at that time,
it was one of the ten largest cities in the United States despite being
a full thousand miles or more west of “the frontier.” It remains a
 premier city of the United States. IKONOS satellite took this
unusual oblique-angle image of the city’s financial district.
By aiming its sensors off nadir, IKONOS was able to capture a sense
of the city’s tall skyscrapers: a unique perspective on a unique city.

The RedNova.com blurb above is typical. The caption didn't even
say the word's "urban sprawl." If they aren't going to use the
satellite to discuss humanity's biggest problem, what good is it?
