Only in America!Quote:
I was at a small social at my parents house and mentioned something about the National Space Center in Leicester. A girl pipes up and says
"oh I love taking my son there, he loves it, I just find it amusing because I don't believe in space." I looked at her dumbfounded and asked if she meant she didn't believe in investing money in space exploration. No, she did not believe in space. She simply did not believe that anything existed above the sky, that pictures and videos were all fake an d that all space agencies and anyone who claimed to have been to space was lying. The other girls in the group started nodding in agreement saying things like "Now that you mention it, I've never really seen space".
I just went home.
Steer clear of Ceti Alpha 5.
Don't you mean Ceti Alpha VI? :PQuote:

Was that taken by the Hubble? The resolution is fantastic.
God Fodda. You got me. I'm just as stupid as the people they are talking about. Cynical too, of my own country. No worries. When I get up tomorrow it'll be a fresh start and I'll make everything great again.Quote:

I'd love to make a trip down Bama ways for a change of scenery but that scenery may just be the inside of a gimp mask.
If I ever get to the Outer Banks again I'm just gonna hit 64E and keep driving until I hit the beach road.
I cant go there, i have the death warrant in 12 systems.
What happebns when the men from outer space come here and ask us to take them to our leader ?? Do we really want to do that ?
I couldn't make the trip either..........outsiders should not cross the border into the Untied States as life according to Trump....... :mrgreen:Quote:
