We currently have the same problem, but about 8 of them and they make a whole mess in a pool with their [emoji90][emoji34]

Unfortunately that's what needs to be done according to the bird watchers and controllers.

Same goes for any Guinea Fowl you see with white patches. It is a hybrid between wild Guinea Fowl and domesticated ones. The domesticated ones are almost completely white or light gray with very faint spots. They have very poor mothering instincts and their genes will dilute the breeding success rate of the wild population. That is bad news in a predator heavy environment like Africa.

Jip and we have a few "hybrids" here as well, but one gets some people who go crazy when one plans to get rid of these birds.

Love This..

Buzz warned him several times and the guy eventually resorted to insults. Totally deserved that clanger on the chops.

The Apollo program was basically at the beginning of NASA, and laid the foundation for all other programs after that. So it's going to be the most expensive. Everything that was learnt, and the technology that was developed during Apollo program would have helped the rest of the programs be comparatively cheaper.

Not really correct.

 

The name NASA was created in 1958, and was essentially just a name change from NACA (National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics).

 

NACA had been fiddling with some really cool toys since 1948, and NASA's brief was to conduct all non military space activities.

The Bumper V-2 was the first missile launched at Cape Canaveral on July 24, 1950.

 

Launch of Explorer 1 on January 31, 1958 (USA's first satellite)

 

And by stating that Apollo was "basically at the beginning of NASA" you're glossing over Mercury, Gemini and all the other rocket programs. Apollo was a d!ck waving contest. The US were 2-0 down to the Soviets, having lost out to Sputnik and Yuri Gagarin, and just like any guy in the local cycling group who keeps getting dropped, they threw money at the problem. They essentially walked into a Specialzed Concept store, opened the catalogue, and ordered everything without even blinking at the price. The wanted the Strava KOM on the moon, and they were not going to lose out again!

After the Challenger disaster, the following joke went around:

What does USA stands for?  Used seven Astronauts

What does NASA stands for? Need Another Seven astronauts.

Thanks for the additional information, and completely agree about the exorbitant costs of Apollo, and although extremely high, one cannot underestimate the scientific, technological and social benefits of the Apollo program.

 

I'm also fully aware of the Mercury Program that preceded Apollo, but as far as I understand this basically became a support program to Apollo (although not initially so as it ran for 3 years before Apollo was announced), and particularly Gemini, which was established after Kennedy announced a mission to the moon. I think both Gemini and Apollo were established in '61, with Gemini established to develop the flight capabilities for Apollo. 

 

Gemini and Mercury were the support acts, Apollo was the main concert.
