I think you mean GAY-o-synchronous orbit....

I quake in fear at the thought of a big gay space beam turning both me and my dog gay.

1:The atlas is not rated for humans
2: two people up and down is not enough
3: there's not enough room for a safe reentry poisition for crew members
4: it's not human rated
5: not enough O2 or CO2 scrub ability
6: no astronaut wants to fly autonomously
7: let the rocket scientists handle this... You write for an automotive…

Why diss Russian's I'm pretty sure there are some good people who live there who would probably think there are good people here too when one of their fellow countryman are slamming us, lets just all try to get along.

Somehow I suspect both the Russians and Americans on the ISS would rather space-shiv Putin and Obama if the shit hits the fan.

Pffft space exploration. Such an ablist endeavor. Why are most astronauts white, cis, highly educated, and men? How about getting some genderqueer womyn of color up in there? We need some real studies being done, like if feminist spoken word is done in microgravity, is it still weightless? That's right. Check…

Any excuse to wave the gay rights flag here, I guess. Why not an expose on how this effects handicapped and disadvantaged, or are they not trending enough right now?

I wish we could keep the politics out of space exploration and sports. With tight government budgets and high costs of space programs it makes sense to share all resources internationally for the greater human good.

So now any remote control gadget is a drone? I missed the part where they blow up unsuspecting middle easterners.

Man I know that there is,

You keep alluding to the uprising being representative of the majority, when it isn't. There are 45 million people in Ukraine, the protests attracted fewer than 2% at their peaks. How is this a majority in any way?

Ukraine is deeply divided, and the ousted president was democratically elected by a majority in 2010.…

Jalopnik content?

Really? Can you show me which election this was where the "majority" have decided to back the interim government? I'm not the one who fails to understand a situation... although I'm obviously the one who can't hold back from an argument LOL

To add another element to this conflict, the appointed (by interim government)…

You mean the Russian Naval Base leased from Ukraine through 2042? Yeah...that's just terrible.

Be aware that they were invited by the prime minister of Crimea. He is not being recognized by the interim government installed by a violent uprising, but neither is that government recognized (nor should be) by their opponents. Horrible mess, that whole situation.

American peacekeepers and Russian occupants!:)

"SHIP PULLS INTO PORT!"

That is true
