We are developing the social individualist meta-context for the future. From the very serious to the extremely frivolous... lets see what is on the mind of the Samizdata people.
Samizdata, derived from Samizdat /n. - a system of clandestine publication of banned literature in the USSR [Russ.,= self-publishing house]

New shuttle landing photo release This just in! Our ever vigilant illuminati underground has just uncovered the little known fact Adnan Hajj photographed early shuttle flights. As a Samizdata exclusive we have this spectacular shuttle landing photograph.
Ms. Ima Fake, a senior Reuters representive, has assured us this photo is absolutely genuine.

Who Are We? The Samizdata people are a bunch of sinister and heavily armed globalist illuminati who seek to infect the entire world with the values of personal liberty and several property. Amongst our many crimes is a sense of humour and the intermittent use of British spelling.
We are also a varied group made up of social individualists, classical liberals, whigs, libertarians, extropians, futurists, ‘Porcupines’, Karl Popper fetishists, recovering neo-conservatives, crazed Ayn Rand worshipers, over-caffeinated Virginia Postrel devotees, witty Frédéric Bastiat wannabes, cypherpunks, minarchists, kritarchists and wild-eyed anarcho-capitalists from Britain, North America, Australia and Europe.

How the pilots manage to contain all that thrust upon landing is a testament to their skill. Was Mr Hajj behind the lens of the camera that took a photo of the shuttle taxiing off the runway, up up up and away?
Having cast an expert eye over the snap, it seems to me to be clearly nothing less than a wholly disproportionate rocket attack on the Kennedy Space Center by an Israeli jet, probably as a result of the similarity of the craft’s fuel pods to a cluster of minarets.
Cool – just like Thunderird 3!
What you all are talking about ? everyone can sees this is an atack by Israel Air Force against a mosque
Lucky Lucky, you’re dead wrong. A close inspection of my linked page in the post above will show you that in a mosque attack situation the minarets are always above the cupola, this Reuters image is quite the reverse.
My preferred alternative theory is that, (using my newfound Reuters’ inspired interpretation skills of Arab-supplied pictures) the smoke could quite easily be another one of those pesky Israeli suicide bombers attacking downtown Beirut.
Mr Ali Oops wishes to be known in future as Mr Ali Down.
I think it’s fitting that Ms. Ima Fake is a senior representative at Reuters.
Landing the way God and Robert Heinlein intended!
