Title: =/\= mars mission simulation on ISS possible, amazon denies skynet attack outage
Post by: stoneyface on April 22, 2011, 05:49:25 pm

in a serious story, nasa may be planning on using the ISS for a mars mission test platform. currently there are plans to use the station for a week long simulation. rumors are inclined towards the station eventually being used for full analog mars mission experiment.

in silly news today, amazon has denied their massive cloud outage was caused by skynet! lol as most people are aware, there was a massive outage across amazon and affiliated sites that use their new cloud computing program. there were lots of outages of sites you would not expect including one of my favorites, cad-comic.com (ctrl+alt+del online web comic). the timing of the outage was not missed by some leading amazon to release it's amusing statement.

Cloud goes down there go your apps and data.  Fundamental reason why I'm anti cloud.  Well illustrated Amazon.   :thumbsup:
