Cheboygan Tribune - NASA's responsible for our bad weather

Okay. No offense meant to Cheboygan, Michigan in particular, but what the fuck are they smoking? This is worth reading just to be amused by the stupidity of it all. Oh, and for the use of the word "theory" to mean "unsubstantiated and ridiculous idea."

Cheboygan Tribune: "From watching space launches on television, you have seen how much force it takes to get even an unmanned space vehicle off the ground. It takes even more if there are five or six heavy people aboard in those space suits and bulky shoes. They have been using women more often lately, but even so, it takes a lot of power to overcome the earth's gravity.

If it takes that much power to raise a rocket, then according to Newton, the same amount of force is being exerted on the earth. Considering the earth's bulk, one lift-off may not have much effect, but think how many launches there are from Cape Kennedy every year and assume that each launch pushes the planet a few feet out of its normal orbit. In the course of a decade, that could amount to a major displacement, enough to have a major effect on the earth's climate."
