Hippocrates at their best: Listening to CBS morning show talk to William Shatner about his ride into space, and him saying we are at a emergency stage to do some thing about the environment, and how fragile the environment really is and all the news staff agreeing. Ok boys and girls, what exactly was the carbon footprint cost of that little joyride for 4 rich people to brag they went into space? Not only calculating all the fuel burned for the ride, but transportation of the support staff, equipment, all the transportation of camera and news crews and recovery-return transportation of the equipment. Funny how a media carnival such as that creates no pollution at all. FJB
