I had never been to a political rally in my life until I attended a Trump rally in Pennsylvania a few days before Election Day. I also never donated any money to a political candidate until I donated to Trump's campaign this year.
How did your Jill Stein vote work out for you?
I voted DJT also, but I totally disagree with your appraisal of manned space exploration.
Don’cha wish Queen Isabella had saved all the money she spent on Columbus’ failed attempt to find another passage to India? What CC accomplished could just as well have been done by fleets of unmanned tiny wooden sailing craft, at a far cheaper price. Just think of all the fun kids would have had then!
So it is for unmanned space probes.
