okay, this is like the fourth or fifth time that i have gone through this thread reading peoples posts and i just can't help but get really ticked off. i am pretty disappointed that somebody such as a moderator would make a post such as this. as far as i read, the point of the original thread was essentially "wow, this is really wierd and interesting, what are your thoughts on it?" not, "what are your opinions on space exploration and whether or not we should spend money on it." i have gotten reprimanded several times for leaving posts that were off subject and semi-tasteless. but a respectful moderator can feel free to toss his opinion around when it's not the topic of discussion? i wouldn't be surprised if this post gets edited or deleted but this is a serious issue and i hope that somebody does something about it.
