Because NASA has always been a right-wing boondoggle?  :ph34r:

I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Because there's no nation in space.

this purikura thing with Lettow`s photo creeps me the fuck out. Is that really a thing in Japan?

But congrats Lettow, best of luck with the whole thing!

I found this infographic...interesting. Out of people currently working (though probably skewed as I wonder if the survey is to people who opted in at salary.com).

Part interesting for me is that 50% of those they employees they see jobhunting said they received a raise in the past year. :ph34r:
