In Other News, Microsoft Scientists Aim For The Moon

Microsoft scientists are feverishly working on a scenario to send a man to the moon using their "innovative" Microsoft Rocket 1.0. Scientists at the Propulsion Underwriter Division have come up with a way to return man to the moon by 2010 using the robust and safe rocket system. Currently the scientists are using simulators to conduct their return to the moon.

"It's a great day for Microsoft and a great day for space travel", bragged Robert J. Flareup, Microsoft Mission Control specialist.

Some of the issues currently facing the scientists based on their simulator tests are:

1. The rocket has flown into the sun in 15% of their tests
2. The rocket fuel has to be specially made because it's not compatible with other rocket fuels
3. The rocket has to be turned back halfway to the moon in 20% of the tests due to computer malfunction and lockups
4. The mixture of oxygen and nitrogen in the capsule has caused the virtual crew to go insane in 20% of the launches and has sent the capsule into a spin with the crew yelling "WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!" over the radio

More information as it is available.
