Pseudo-Science goes Interplanetary

You're not going to believe this one.

Europe's first space mission to Venus has begun its five-month voyage to our closest planetary neighbour.

Venus Express lifted off on a Russian rocket from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan at 0333 GMT on Wednesday.

The spacecraft will orbit Venus to study its atmosphere, which has experienced runaway greenhouse warming.

Scientists hope the two-year mission will shed further light on the mechanisms of climate change on our own world.

So let's review. After the crippling defeats of losing the Beagle 2 on Mars, and the Cryosat, they've launched their latest probe on a Russian rocket (translation: they can't even launch their own stuff), and its entire purpose is to study "climate change" on Venus (I can save them some time: there isn't any) in an effort to further their asinine psuedo-scientific agenda regarding global warming.

Should we really be surprised that a group of nations with this kind of space program can't figure out something as simple as keeping foreign immigrants from causing chaos in the streets, or lowering unemployment? Welcome to Europe, the most sententious continent on Earth, whose moral authority is equivalent to that of a pack of chewing gum.

What a bunch of morons.
