Good post LN
I do not think that space travel is that safe still but maybe a little better. I would find it hard to get in a Shuttle and take a flight to the moon just yet. The space program is a great thing and has helped man I think to better himself or better arm himself Sure getting crowded up there.

That's a great patch!
Space, the final frontier. I think that was from Star Trek. I think it's all about adventure. The danger in a situation like this is something to be reckoned with, not hold us back. Besides who wants the monkeys to get all the credit? Aren't we the intelligent species around here? I'm glad we as people try out new, crazy things and continue to strive for new information about this wonderful world we live on and beyond! |

Pluto in question
The sky is a wonderful place! I think the phases of the moon are pretty cool.
A way to keep track of time if you're organized. Ya'll probably discussed this already, but the Pluto thing really gets me. It's interesting to me how science tries to sell us the line about based on facts & all, then pulls Pluto from the planets based on new scientific evidence. It's not only Pluto, there's many other areas where the human race realizes perhaps they spoke too soon. This goes along with some of the other threads and the "battle" between science & religion. Funny how The Intelligent Design "theory" remains unchanged. ( I realize there are a few debatable details in regard to time and species) Now, don't get me wrong some changes are good, invited even, but it's nice to know some things you can stand on, and are unchanging. There's a lot of fun stuff out there to explore! I hope I never put the blinders on totally - I just found out I know a family that says they've seen (all together, at one time ) a UFO!(round, hovering, lights all around, space craft about 30-40 yrs. ago) That really got me to thinking |

Just goes to show what a little technology, faith, and teamwork can do. It is amazing to me that we made it through the Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo programs without any loss of life in space during an actual mission. Instead of dismantling the Apollo program, it should have been studied and duplicated for its success. Seems like the shuttle, skylab, ISS, etc have been foobar by comparison, with the exception of the Mars Rover program which is just amazing in its success like our 60's programs were. Also Hubble is cool, and we should have a bigger one to replace it IMHO
