Unmanned Space Missions VS Manned Space Missions
Manned space flight is dangerous and costly no doubt but unmanned space
flights can not be the solution. There are large amount of tasks and
experiments which require constant human presence to record observations
or study a particular phenomenon.
Unmanned space flights are best suited for reconnaissance missions which are essential before manned mission. A great deal of information gathered from unmanned space missions are required to fail proof the future manned missions. Unmanned missions like "Curiosity" on mars and "Chandrayan" on moon have been critical in providing crucial data such as the amount of radiations astronauts would be exposed to on a one way trip to mars or moon. These observations will be essential in developing space shuttles with much better shielding. These rover provide data but are quite slow in performing tasks like drilling the martian or lunar surface which can be done much faster by humans. Also, large amount of man power is dedicated in controlling these rovers.
Also manned missions are needed if humans want to be a space faring civilization. Recently many companies plan on establishing colonies on the lunar and the martian surface, which will be impossible without manned missions. No doubt it it is quite dangerous for the astronauts to be out there into emptiness and vastness of universe but nothing great is achieved without taking great risks.
Furthermore, instead of stop investing on the manned missions we should invest on fail proofing the manned mission and reducing their costs. Companies are working on reducing the costs for space travel. SpaceX is working on reusable rockets which is supposed to ,significantly cut down the cost of space travel. With every mission there are lessons to be learned which help in making manned space flights much safer.
Unmanned missions are only to better understand the region before humans go and explore it for themselves. They are necessary but not a replacement to manned missions.

Its just me or is it really fcuked?
Well to your bitter surprise and horror Kuwait(well not only Kuwait, Kuwait and neighbors) have Friday and Saturday as weekends, well this was only since 2007 because apparently before that they had Thursday and Friday as weekends. What do you infer from this trend? Is it, they are in steps somehow trying to close in to 'western' Saturday and Sunday as weekends. Well the truth is far more relieving and logical. In cultures, the day of rest derives from the main religious tradition: Sunday (Christian), Saturday (Jewish), or Friday (Muslim).So, this trend is to allow for respect of Fridays as the day for Jumu'ah
prayers in Muslim countries while also having more working days to
overlap with international financial markets.
P.S : The previous post was a total HOAX.

The WAIT is OVER.
No doubt, the finale episode of Sherlock(TV Series) Season 2 left you all in awe and thinking, how he did it this time, fake his own suicide. I bet you all must have put your swelling brains to work, trying to crack it. "Did Molly help him accomplish his fake suicide?" Well whatever happened London Central Court has left it to your own thinking by banning the next season from being aired , claiming that the trick used by Sherlock Holmes to fake his suicide in the last episode of Season 2 "The Reichenbach Fall" is so simple that people can easily fake their own suicide which may lead to public disturbance.
The producers on the other hand have sued the government and have demanded the government to pay the losses they are expected to incur from this decision of the London Central Court.

My Dark Passenger
was it the "stairway to heaven"
or "the platinum Mac"
Something dark and deadly
Next was a splitting flash
Something struggled within me
Struggled to escape its confines
Writhing me in pain
Parting from me
My dark passenger
Wild unguided she soared
Naive, oblivious of the paranoia mantling her
For why would she have even cared
Bloodhound mongrels
They laughed they perched
Hunting her down the lowliness
For make her realize
she an abomination
There I stood frozen
In the theater of war
helpless, watching her
Lioness fighting them off
Prideful she embraced what came next
For she was the only
Hostile to the millions I guess
Still I stood there as she fell back into me
Convinced, she ain't dead yet
For she will rise again..
