Miles O'Brien was canned from CNN a month ago, along with the entire science and technology staff. The lastest Jennifer Aniston rumor takes precedence over science and technology at CNN.

 

O'Brien recently wrote this op-ed for space.com:

Truth is, we have done nothing to equal (much less top) the accomplishments of Apollo. And even worse, we haven't tried. We did something truly great, but then walked away from it. We had lightning in a bottle — and we opened the lid.

 

Not that I'm biased or anything, but ... nice piece, Miles, and best of luck.

Perhaps with the new presidential administration and their promise to reinstate science to it's rightful place, Mr. O'Brien will find his employment status changing.

 

Btw, I hear Jennifer Aniston is going to be on Discovery when it visits the International Space Station in February. They're airing a live cable special called Vapid Valentines From The Void.

 

You heard it here first.

They must be crazy. Everyone knows you can't run a starship without Miles O'Brien.

 

 

 

(Well SOMEBODY had to say it.)
