> why did you steal all their intellectual property?

Just as a side note the American industrial revolution was built on intellectual property theft [1]. So was the Byzantine empire [2]. The British empire (and it’s tea production) also did well out of IP theft [3].

facepalm You’re not helping.


And how is it you are helping? What is it that NASA does again with its annual $20B budget? Sleeping? ...Not putting people into space, that's for sure. Or maybe it pays others to put people into space? Is that how it works now? On the plus side, I saw one of your NASA T-shirts at Walmart - good job? ...No NASA emblems on spaceships though.


This ^ comment may have been a bit too savage. I'm sorry, but I'm not sorry. I'm not right, but I'm not wrong either.
