automatic pool cleaner worth it image

Is there anything we can do for this? Will it ruin our pool?
Answer
If there's water in there, there's nothing you can do. I'm assuming you just filled up a new pool and didn't push the wrinkles out. Kinda important to do that before you have more than 1/4 inch of water in there. If this is a brand new liner and you have wrinkles that have a sharp ridge on them and you eventually plan on using an automatic cleaner, it's worth the time and effort to drain that pool, push the wrinkles out in conjunction to using a liner vac and fill slowly, watching for any further wrinkles to show. Pounce on them immediately. Once you have an inch of water in there...that's it, no need to keep watching for bottom wrinkles, just make sure that the liner on the wall has to stretch a bit and no wrinkle will form there.
The reasons you may want to do all this are twofold:
1/ A sharp ridge wrinkle and an automatic cleaner do NOT get along. The cleaner will eventually wear a hole in your liner on that ridge.
2/ Wrinkles are unsightly. Makes it look like the installation was sloppy.

Is it time for a reality check for people who think the universe is the answer to our problems?
No Chance
We have 6 people in space, barely....250 miles up (only 238,650 more miles to go to reach the moon)
We have 4 R/C Cars worth billions of dollars each on mars, some working some not
and a Couple of dozen satellites poncing around the solar system
We cannot fly men to another planet......even mars
We cannot colonize the moon (sending constant supplies would be drastically expensive, and harmful to the earth)
Men cannot exist in space except with what they bring with them.....(although Air and pee are cleaned and re-ingested)
and we cannot get our stuff together down here on earth to even begin to overcome these problems
Do you really think......this is ever going to happen?
Or did our intelligent designer make the universe and space in such away, to keep us here.
Do you really think you can build the tower of babel....all over again?
The Tower of Babel reference was too obtuse for some I see
Answer
NASA has contributed more to the economy then you could in a 1000 life times. Only .7% of our taxes go to NASA. Less than a penny for every tax dollar you pay.
Since their creation in 1958 NASA has spent a total of about 500 billion dollars, that's a little more than what we spend on welfare EVERY YEAR! It's also a little more than what we spend on defense EVERY YEAR!
For every $1 NASA is given, it put $8 back into the economy. So at an average of $8 billion in yearly spending, an average of 56 billion in yearly contribution to the economy, NASA has contributed around 2-3 trillion dollars to the economy.
NASA is also responsible for the majority of what we know about the universe. Not to mention the MASSIVE amount of technology we enjoy that originated from NASA. Here's a few examples:
The following is a list of NASA technology and NASA spin-off technology: Virtually all computer improvements from vacuum tubes to integrated chips came from the space program, all of the satellite technology (which is huge, without that we would have lost the cold war), hydroponic gardening led to hardier species of plants able to survive arid regions reducing hunger, Teflon, forecasting weather events, memory foam, Velcro, the microchip, gps, cell service, plasma screens, rechargeable batteries, the MRI, microwave technologies, pharma and brain cancer drug improvements, ground processing scheduling system, semiconductor cubing, structural analysis, windows visual news reader, air quality monitor, virtual reality, advanced keyboards, database management systems, laser surveying, aircraft controls, lightweight compact disc, expert system software, design graphics, enriched baby food, water purification system, scratch-resistant lenses, pool purification, ribbed swimsuit, portable coolers/warmers, athletic shoes, dustbuster, shock-absorbing helmets, home security systems, smoke detectors, high-density batteries, trash compactors, food packaging and freeze-dried technology, composite golf clubs, quartz crystal timing equipment, microspheres, forest management, sensors for environmental control, wind monitor, telemetry systems, fire resistant material, radiation insulation, environmental analysis, noise abatement, pollution measuring devices, radioactive leak detector, digital imaging br east biopsy system, br east cancer detection, laser angioplasty, ultrasound skin damage assessment, human tissue stimulator, cool suit - for multiple sclerosis- cerebral palsy- spina bifida and other conditions, programmable pacemaker, ocular screening, automated urinalysis, medical gas analyzer, voice-controlled wheelchair, arteriosclerosis detection, ultrasound scanners, automatic insulin pump, portable x-ray device, invisible braces, dental arch wire, palate surgery technology, clean room apparel, implantable heart aid, bone analyzer, cataract surgery tools, magnetic liquids, welding sensor system, microlasers, magnetic bearing system, engine lubricant, interactive computer training, high-pressure waterstripping, advanced welding torch, gasoline vapor recovery, self-locking fasteners, machine tool software, laser wire stri pper, lubricant coating process, wireless communications, emergency rescue cutters, fireman's air tanks, self-righting life raft, doppler radar, lead poison detection, corrosion protection coating, robotic hands, studless winter tires, better brakes, weight saving technology, improved aircraft engine, advanced lubricants, the flywheel energy storage system, wing design for corporate jets, safer bridges, emission testing, airline wheelchairs, electric car, methane-powered vehicles, and aircraft design analysis.
So in the end, dismantling NASA would only eliminate jobs and cost us billions in lost money to the economy every year. I only wish the other 99.3% of my taxes were so well spent. Perhaps we should let NASA teach us something about how to run the country
