... so I really want to read a story about astronauts resorting to cannibalism now.

And don't tell me to write it. You know I can't write science fiction.

I searched "astronauts cannibalism" and all I got was this stuff about Buzz Aldrin saying Mars-bound astronauts should just stay there permanently because the journey (1 1/2 years round trip) would take too long. LOL. 1 1/2 years is too long now? That and NASA is freaking out about what to do if someone dies in space. Apparently they don't have a policy for this. I think that scares me more.

And I somehow ended up at a place called Capitalism Magazine, which accuses environmentalists and the EPA of causing the Columbia disaster (something about demanding the replacement of a certain type of foam?) and the Challenger disaster (the new bad putty was used because the old putty was discontinued for fear of anti-asbestos lawsuits). I've said it before and I'll say it again - I'm not going on one of those "environmentally friendly" planes for another twenty years. But you're taking it too far, Capitalism Magazine. They also think the space program should be privatized: "I say the best tribute to the heroes of space exploration, both living and dead, would be bring to wilds of space the same level of freedom that once made it possible for men to settle the wilds of the American continent."

LOL.

Have you seen Aliens, sir? I know it's the best movie ever (I'm actually partial to Alien, but I'm a cat person), but I think most people would agree that Aliens is a problem we don't want to have. And the most despicable villain of that movie? Not the xenomorphs. A. Fucking. Capitalist.
