NASA Astronaut: We Need to Care for the Earth!

From high above our atmosphere, space shuttle Discovery commander Eileen Collins has been making green activists happy with a few choice comments from space. Lucky Dawg News is all over it:

The egg comment and how we are running out of air on Earth ranked up there with the dumbest of Al Gore utterances.

"The atmosphere almost looks like an eggshell on an egg, it's so very thin," she said. "We know that we don't have much air, we need to protect what we have."

Gee, was she worried about how much the atmosphere was polluted when Discovery's rockets spewed tons of carbon monoxide and other waste when Discovery was shot into space? What about all of the fuel it needs just to get up there?

I guess NASA projects are exempt from such criticism.
