So when Columbus discorvered America, not only was it already populated, they already had KFC?

He's saying it resulted as an unforseable result. Of which there would be many if we go into space race mode.

Oh, man, that's good stuff.

No, like sunny said, there are always surprises when you press boundaries. Some will be good, some will be bad, but humanity will advance.

Unfortunately, the people who get to make these decisions are morons.

Ah, yes, I can see my campaign plan now:

"Abortions for everyone!"

"Booo!"

"Very well, no abortions for anyone!"

"Booo!"

"Hmmmm......abortions for some, miniature American flags for others!"

"Yaay!"

Rochey finally gets the gist of American politics - keep saying things until you find one that the masses like.

rofl
And that's how Chickenhuitlquatl (Chicken Eatting Serpent) came about.
Or maybe Tochickenlok (Our-Lord-The-Chicken-One)

I really hate the idea that we should fix the problems on Earth before going to space. Space is the key to fixing all our super long term problems and there are always going to be distractions at home.

What about "Quetzalco-add-a-piece" - deep-fried feathered serpent?

mmm Deepfried Feathered Serpent. For 99 cents more you can make it a Shining Serpent by ordering off the Mayan menu.
