Horsing around in a space station that doesn't even rotate to have the
artificial gravity necessary for proper life.

I mean really, we should have been way past going to Mars by now.

That is what all the poets thought back then, as in 2001 Space Odyssey
and Star Trek.

We should be well on our way to the stars, colonizing and spreading our seed
through the universe.

We should be traveling to other galaxies, to find the real Luke Skywalker
and Darth Vader.

And look at us...40 years after landing a man on the Moon, and we are still
in Earth orbit...

E.T. must be laughing at us.

Why we didn’t go back to the Moon poll:

A. Aliens are preventing our return.
B. We saw the aliens there, it scared the **** out of us and we never
returned.
C. Partisan politics.
D. Just cost too god damn much.
E. We never was there to begin with, the landing was a hoax.
F. Most people really don’t give a ****, so why bother.

I’ll keep the tally.
