If You Really Loved Me You'd Let Me Eat Your Brain

Shuttle Commander and Queen Moron of the Upper Stratosphere Eileen Collins said she can see environmental damage on Earth from outer space. She warned that greater care is needed to protect natural resources. Read all about it here.  

 

Sometimes you can see how there is erosion, and you can see how there is deforestation. It's very widespread in some parts of the world.

 

In space no one can hear you get pimp-slapped. You can see erosion from space? Good God, woman! We have satellites for measuring that, and you can be sure deforestation is being studied closely using other orbiting assets. To come out pronounce ecological disaster and use such scientifically imprecise language as "widespread environmental destruction" ought to be enough for this woman to have her Big Scientist Degree taken back.

 

We would like to see, from the astronauts' point of view, people take good care of the Earth and replace the resources that have been used.

 

Yes, Queen Stupid, we will manufacture oil, water, coal, natural gas, and any number of minerals and put everything back the way it was. Idiot.

 

The atmosphere almost looks like an eggshell on an egg, it's so very thin.

 

So it's like an eggshell, which one would find where? On an egg? Hence the use of the "egg" before "shell" to indicate that the shell is part of the egg, very egg-like, and indeed integral to the egg-ness of the egg.

 

We know that we don't have much air, we need to protect what we have.

 

Good freaking lord! WE DON'T HAVE MUCH AIR!? WTF is this stupid cow talking about? Are we going to run out next Thursday? Should we all be taking shallow breaths!? It's not like air grows on trees or something!

AAAAAGAGHHH! My valve is sealing shut!

What bothers me the most is that I haven't seen anyone in the media comment on her overly broad and unscientific statements. She's a NASA scientist, right? Aren't they supposed to be methodical empiricists who think before they speak? Who let this dingbat into the program in the first place, and why aren't more people upset over her scary bedtime stories from the Big Bad Earth Reader?
