Dumb decision - Page 2 - Toyota Yaris Forums

Ok I'll jump in,

When I read about this I was disappointed on a couple of levels, first that these tress would be cut down and second and more amazing to me was this is NASA, NASA, these are supposed to be the best and brightest.

The same guys who had that Mars Curiosity Rover doing all kinds of things a few weeks ago in order to land on the Martian surface. Here

I watch that animation and think these guys couldn't have found a way to move this thing without hacking down all these trees. Put their collective heads together and "over engineer" a solution.

I think perhaps they didn't see removing all those trees as a problem which needed a solution. If that was the case, it's a pretty sorry state of affairs.

cheers

I live in logging country, and I see trucks go by in the dozens every day. Some of them have 3 of our old-growth trees on them, some of them have 600 "trees" (sticks, really) on them. The loggers/processors won't quit until the are all gone. One trucker told me, "Of course it will keep going! You will always need toilet paper, won't ya? The "supersoft" kind?" Why is "recycle" a four-letter word?

Okay, does "reprocessed" help with your sensitivities? Good grief...
