#3 It's too bad he screwed up so badly with the Goddamn Shaft, though, he could speak with more authority on the subject if he'd actually done anything during his tenure to lower launch costs.

#4 1. Moslem contribution to science and mathematics is a lie. If anything, it is a detractor thereof. The only accomplishment the moslem world has made is the zero - everything else was stolen from the europeons.

2. How sad that a government agency that was able to go to the moon now must quabble with an otherwise useless task of making moslems "feel better" How trite.

3. Vote democrat the next election and the Right Hand of God will fall on this country.

#5 newc, you are wrong. The zero was "invented" by the Hindus and originally took the form of a dot.

Reference "Mathematics for the Million" by Hogben.

Nope.

And they didn't write the Koran, either.

I thought you weren't allowed to speak for God? Anyway regardless of that the much more powerful Invisible hand of Adam Smith hand WILL fall on the country if either of your parties don't stop the states metastasis occurring the expense of reciprocal wealth creation.

God has made it abundently clear what can and cannot be done, what will or will not happen if, you do or do not do.

#10 newc,
You are on the right track.
It was the = sign.
Algebra and calculus don't make much sense without the diametric logic of the = sign.
A worthwhile contributions by anyone's standards.

Once in a while even a loser gets lucky.

#13 Why are so many people obsessed with claiming that the Moslem world inventing this or that?

The equal symbol (=) was first used by Welshman Robert Recorde in 1557. NOT A MOSLEM.

Diophantus was the father of the method of algebraic solutions. NOT A MOSLEM.

#14 the sooner we say FUCK the muslims , the better #11

The world has been saying that since 666 A.D. (that would be for about 1500 years).
