News just handed and spiderman'd of the computer people at National Aeronautics and Space Administration, the real one. A Sydney based computer software engineering company has been awarded part of the contract to run some of the software on NASA's navigation equipment on earth, as well as on space shuttles. Plus the International space station, which must be finished by 2016. Just in time for its crash into the ocean, if it doesn't get blown out of the atmosphere beforehand.

Sydney based company that created the software are all very exited about the royalties they will receive. They are also saying that there is a lack of software engineers in Sydney, and near eighty percent of the staff at particular software company are from overseas. People have been questioning if this is a good move.

As Universities around the country struggle to maintain numbers, Department of infectious diseases in Tasmania, Dr Harold Flick explains to insane urine soaked man on park bench news reporters about the upcoming NASA mission. 'Unfortunately i don't know anything about NASA. This is the department of infectious diseases' he told reporters. 

Finding the correct department and speaking to computer engineering student Oblea Bonsito, from Spain. 'The Sydney based software company has quite a task on there hands creating such crucial software for space shuttles.' Reporters then asked Mr. Bonsito what sort of kernel, Linux based or the usual mainstream? He said he couldn't recall, because he had been up all night and then asked reporters for a stick.

Apart from the eight percent chance of not coming back alive, many people are still signing up for space programs worldwide. Including the projected tourist flights by 2011. Richard Branson reckons that the whole 'chucking people up in sort of space thing' could be worth four hundred and twenty trillion dollars per month in ticket sales, although people say that's a bit too low priced.

Australia still is the best place on earth to send a vehicle into zero gravity. Freelance rocket engineers sacked after using the office computers for porn have been hired for work on the cheap from backyard space shuttle builders to overcome the high cost of mainstream space travel. Air traffic controllers are furious.

Photos have appeared in local newspapers of a Toyota brand bubble car with a 140 meter parachute welded to its roof. The owner was caught at Brisbane Airport runway, trying to attach his car with ocky straps to the landing gear of an aircraft just about leave for London. The man was shot on sight.
