The Phenomenon of Red Shift
Even today, the stars and galaxies continue to fly apart. This produces a phenomenon called red shift. The further away a celestial object is, the more it appears to astronomers on Earth to be shifted toward the red end of the spectrum.
Red shift shows increasing totalitarian domination of the outer reaches of the universe. Write your congressman!

I like it. ;)
I guess I should explain - last night, just before js and I posted here, there was a vanity thread (which was pretty quickly pulled) that argued that the super-duper top-secret real mission of NASA was actually to advance atheism and Marxism by making it really really hard for people to believe in God. So after a bit of appropriate mocking, that thread got yanked, and I just happened to see this thread right there afterwards. So that's the reason you got the strange comments ;)
