Commander Eileen Collins said astronauts on shuttle Discovery had seen widespread environmental destruction on Earth and warned on Thursday that greater care was needed to protect natural resources...
"Sometimes you can see how there is erosion, and you can see how there is deforestation. It's very widespread in some parts of the world," Collins said in a conversation from space with Japanese officials in Tokyo, including Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi.
One of the fun consequences of the military-industrial complex relying on scientific development: sometimes, those pesky scientists start pointing out the obvious. We can safely bet that this won't be the topic of conversation once Discovery gets back to Earth.
