       Research rockets rain down on ANWR





Craig Medred



| Oct 28, 2010

Largely
unnoticed by all but the wildlife and a handful of wilderness
wanderers, the U.S government has, for decades now, been slamming
rockets into the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge of northern Alaska.



The bombing, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration says,
is nothing to worry about; it's merely a little fallout from science.
Hikers who have stumbled on the debris, though, say it is more than a
little unsettling. "These rockets would kill anyone near the impact site
and would destroy a cabin," said Brad Meiklejohn, who found the tail
end of a rocket in the Wind River drainage of the Brooks Range this
summer and then started examining the debris field. "There was thick,
half-inch metal shrapnel over a 100-foot radius around the rockets."

Probably a good way to convert one of those into a deer stand with a welding torch and a little ingenuity.

Hollow that thing out and it'd make a really cool Halloween costume.

In other news, 1940s A-bomb tests killed a lot of scorpions and possibly a cactus or two.

Spiffy. If it was embedded into the skeleton of a caribou it would replace my coffee table.

I thought you were smart for pointing out their mistakes...but alas, no.

This must put the hippy pinko-commie enviro-marxist fuck sticks between a rock and a hard place.


They love to love government, but the government keeps fucking up the environment they love to love.


At least most of us love to hate government, and therefore have a love-hate relationship with the environment.
