  1. “The water spill from BP’s “Deep Red Horizon” well has completely engulfed the surface of mars, and has now begun spraying ancient brackish seawater into space.”

    BP pays bonuses to people who skip safety protocols as long as they increase production by doing so… and their corporate culture does not learn; Piper Alpha, operators started a red tagged compressor in order to make their quarterly quota; Texas City unsupervised operators continued their standard start up procedures (while the supervisor was in a mandatory safety meeting) without knowing that a critical high level alarm was disabled. Deep water Horizon did not waste time testing 2 independent blow out preventers because the chances of both being bad was so unlikely… We probably don’t want them anywhere CLOSE to anything mission critical.

  3. “develop robotics and clean energy” so the exact thing BP has been sabotaging for decades?

  4. So NASA suddenly needs help from oil drillers, should we be concerned?

    Anyway no matter I’m a getting, hungry, gota go

    Not worth it. How are they going to ship resources back to earth when it takes 9 months. No way a big space cargo ship can re-enter Earth’s atmosphere.
