    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    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.

    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.
