I'm so damn sick of liberal BS. Do you guys ever even really think about some of the incredibly stupid stuff you say? I read a liberal bumper sticker today that said, "The future belongs to those who give the next generation hope to look forward to." Wha?? No wonder they were all so enamered with Obama's totally empty, meaningless "poetry." They wouldn't recognize substance if it fell from space, landed on their collective faces and wiggled.

waste of money? you've got to be kidding me. something cool to do in your spare time is what it is. you cant tell me they launched the space shuttle into orbit just to put a tablet in a water drop. do you know how much they spent on the experiment? probably, oh, i don't know... 50 cents? it's like five bucks for a box of Alka-Seltzer. cool your jets. i think it looks awesome!

Really cool, and I highly doubt they spent millions to just do that. That is probably one of a long list of things to get done while they're in space... or they did it to kill time on the way to go fix something in orbit.
