NASA finds new and interesting ways to waste money - has plans to make giant space ark

IN a bitter twist of irony... in 2067 a comet hits the nuclear powered titanium vault containing the sum knowledge of humanity. Earth is subjected to a hailstorm of radioactive titanium shards and pieces from the recently exploded moon. Panicked nations launch nuclear strikes against mistaken agitators. Whomever is left dies in the cold nuclear winter that follows which eventually dooms the planet.

Will I get Night Owl points for quitting but not as much for getting fired?
Will I still be a member of the Owl's Pals? I'd hate to turn in my card. It's got a real owl feather under the lamination and everything.


Night Owl: Oh, indeed. I quit many a job ...better than being fired. You can keep your card... in fact, you get double points for quitting!

Now thats an idea I can get behind.
Trying to "keep warm" during the nuclear winter will be the best way to go out :P

NASA finds new and interesting ways to waste money - has plans to make giant space ark

You need to up your reading skills a bit.  A  'Space Ark' is not being planned by NASA.  The article has morphed two stories (NASA has plans to colonize the moon, and the ARC (not NASA) who are advocates of preserving and backing up various aspects of our civilization.\

Notice that the title of the (linked) article is "Moon Base Announced by NASA", and careful reading will reveal that in no way are they planning to build a 'Space Ark'.  Instead, you just use a casual read to reinforce your views that NASA is a waste of time and money.

Jim Burke (formerly of NASA but now with the ISU) says "This calls for the creation of a space age Noah's ark".  Not NASA.  Let me repeat that: NOT FUCKING NASA!

Your one line summary is inaccurate, biased and politicized statement that misinterprets the facts badly.
