I wish that all those years ago they had swim suits that were sleek and formfitting and glided across the water easier, maybe I would have been a better swimmer, had more confidence and won more events.  If you can practically be naked without actually being naked, I give a thumbs up to the creators!!!!  ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[jensmom1989]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 4th 2008 9:03PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on NASA Technology Speedo Suit Helping Swimmers Break Records]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2008/04/04/nasa-technology-speedo-suit-helping-swimmers-break-records/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2008/04/04/nasa-technology-speedo-suit-helping-swimmers-break-records/</guid><description><![CDATA[Now I only have to shave my arms.

I am "NOT" understanding why "NASA" has the time to modify a swim suit.??Isn't NASA suppose too be doing something else like.., oh maybe "Research & Explore Space"??? I am understanding that Tax Dollars are for Space Exploration...,Not BULLSHIT..!! No wonder we (or should I say NASA) hasn't put MAN out passed the moon.!! OUR WORLD is running out of time..,SO NASA STICK TO THE PROGRAM.!!!!!!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[James R.

Read the article again. The developmental costs ran about $4 million. That's fairly reasonable for a joint NASA project and since private corporations footed the bill, what are you harping about? ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Mike Thorneburg]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 5th 2008 12:15AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on NASA Technology Speedo Suit Helping Swimmers Break Records]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2008/04/04/nasa-technology-speedo-suit-helping-swimmers-break-records/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2008/04/04/nasa-technology-speedo-suit-helping-swimmers-break-records/</guid><description><![CDATA[Mr. Dawson: Why the panic? "Our world is running out of time"? Really? In what way? You mean, after 4 billion years of heavy bombardment from those annoying killer asteroids, massive volcanic upheaval and its resulting worldwide climatological chaos and the catastrophic relocation of whole continents, you mean to tell me a little ole quadruped that's been here on Earth a fleeting nanosecond has gone and nearly killed the planet? Are you insane? Just in case, can I have your stuff when you're gone?  ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Mike Thorneburg]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 5th 2008 12:26AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on NASA Technology Speedo Suit Helping Swimmers Break Records]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2008/04/04/nasa-technology-speedo-suit-helping-swimmers-break-records/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2008/04/04/nasa-technology-speedo-suit-helping-swimmers-break-records/</guid><description><![CDATA[I think its a shame that atheletes with access to the highest technology, have an advantage over atheletes with pure ability. In time, when there is zero resistance due to swimsuit, hair, or whatever slows us down, we will be back to pure ability, hard work, and talent. But, of course, we will have to keep testing for steroids. It was sure nice back when I swam, losing purely because I was short.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[krae]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 5th 2008 12:26AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on NASA Technology Speedo Suit Helping Swimmers Break Records]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2008/04/04/nasa-technology-speedo-suit-helping-swimmers-break-records/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2008/04/04/nasa-technology-speedo-suit-helping-swimmers-break-records/</guid><description><![CDATA[I still don't get it.  Children and adults are starving to death all over the world.  Children are dying at St Jude's, American's are homeless and out of work suffering every day and we have companies that will spend 4 million on a better swimsuit just so we can say our swimmer is faster than yours, or our runner is faster than yours.  Our children are suffering just like yours but our completely healthy athletes are running and swimming faster than yours.  The priorities in this world are so screwed up it just sickens me the emphasis that is put on sports.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Nowgolf18]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 5th 2008 5:22PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on NASA Technology Speedo Suit Helping Swimmers Break Records]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2008/04/04/nasa-technology-speedo-suit-helping-swimmers-break-records/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2008/04/04/nasa-technology-speedo-suit-helping-swimmers-break-records/</guid><description><![CDATA[What is nice about this suit is the fact that swimmers, both men and women don't have to shave their bodies to reduce drag.

Should we begin checking for chemicals in the water, that may help one suit slip and slide better because its made from the correct material, and the others are not.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[John]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 7th 2008 12:37PM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
