Hierdie besoeker het enkele dae in ons kombuis vertoef en blitsig op hooghe pote die werksoppervlaktes verken. Ek kon nie vasstel watter kosvoorkeure die kalant gehad het nie – al my pogings om gourmet disse voor te sit is met minagting bejeën en met klaarblyklike minagting verwerp.

Let op die pragtige groen oë.

Illustrasie

In an unprecedented slap at NASA’s endorsement of global warming science, nearly 50 former astronauts and scientists–including the ex-boss of the Johnson Space Center–claim the agency is on the wrong side of science and must change course or ruin the reputation of the world’s top space agency.
Challenging statements from NASA that man is causing climate change, the former NASA executives demanded in a letter to Administrator Charles Bolden that he and the agency “refrain from including unproven remarks” supporting global warming in the media.
“We feel that NASA’s advocacy of an extreme position, prior to a thorough study of the possible overwhelming impact of natural climate drivers is inappropriate,” they wrote. “At risk is damage to the exemplary reputation of NASA, NASA’s current or former scientists and employees, and even the reputation of science itself.”
