| 673182 | 2008-05-27 22:14:00 | Trains are more useful than a machine looking to see if maybe there was once life on Mars. | pctek (84) | ||
| 673183 | 2008-05-27 22:17:00 | Id perfer the mars thing... | rob_on_guitar (4196) | ||
| 673184 | 2008-05-27 22:19:00 | It's all a plot. | R2x1 (4628) | ||
| 673185 | 2008-05-27 22:32:00 | Trains are only useful if there are enough of them, if there are enough tracks in useable condition (that go to the required destinations), if there are incentives in place to get the freight off the roads.... However the point of the cartoon as I see it is: "bang for buck", investing in the future, and worldview focus. I wonder if Nasa could do rocket trains for us at a cheaper price than Cullen's 'investment' in rail....???? |

| 673186 | 2008-05-27 23:02:00 | "bang for buck" - or creative accounting? Some of the parts used by NASA including the lander itself were reused from previously cancelled missions. | PaulD (232) | ||
| 673187 | 2008-05-27 23:46:00 | Even the Space Program recycles!!!! | johcar (6283) | ||
| 673188 | 2008-05-28 08:41:00 | Ye-es? and our trains really look like that? I don't think so.... Forget mars, people need to sort themselves out on this planet first |
