How? By hoping the animals get bombarded with cosmic rays and get superpowers?

the ability to put an object into orbit generally equals the ability to put an ICBM pretty much anywhere on the planet. the fact that they're sending live animals up (presuming the animals survive the launch) indicates to me the ability to put delicate equipment up there.

this little tidbit seems to fall on deaf ears when explaining why we haven't been back to the moon since the early 70's. "for all of mankind" really meant "for all of mankind ...to see that we can hit their house from here... and watch them make stool." How good science ever managed to get done during all of this posturing is a miracle.

I can't help but to think that Gog and Magog are riding out onto the plain of Armageddon for a self-fulfilling prophecy ... this time the Barbecue is sooo hot it's radioactive

Personally, I just like where the globalsecurity cat's head is at- replace fissionables with turtles in the ICBM's. WW3 would at least have a punchline. A sad one. Poor poor turtles.
