July 23, 20215 yr comment_860264 I wonder how Alan Shepard, a guy whose military, test pilot and astronaut is of the highest achievement, would feel about his name being associated with Bezos's vanity project? I guess Bezos, Musk and Branson wouldn't have a place at the table if NASA got its act together. Report
July 23, 20215 yr Author comment_860312 This is a bizarre video. It's about a very zoomer meme (amongus) but it's based on a boomer* film that's as old as I am. *The Pythons aren't actually boomers. They're all from the Silent Generation. Report

August 4, 20215 yr comment_861328 The problem I have with that video is how the questions are loaded. Arabic numerals is the official and colloquial name of the numbers we use. Lemaitre's theory was officially called the hypothesis of the primeval atom and colloquially known as the big bang theory. By referring to it only as his theory of creation is quite silly. Still, I bet the 'Republicans' and 'Democrats' they polled for that video are really just 'idiots' and 'idiots'. Edited August 4, 20215 yr by Beefy Type good, stupid Report
August 4, 20215 yr comment_861334 I just found it amusing that that video was brought to you by Fox News. Report
