If you would like to show how these peripheral avenues you have
persisted in focusing on will (or even have the potential to) further
the sum total of understanding of space history, I may decide that
continuing this discussion would be a worthwhile investment of time.

I am very glad to know that there are many places on the internet that
did not exist in 2001 that are very productive places to make
contributions that help to advance the knowledge - and even wisdom -
of human society.

I will continue to follow, every so often, this corner of the
internet. *Even in this decade, I find a morsel shared here that I am
interested in. *I hope there are others who find the transcript I
shared in this thread to be interesting. *Maybe more at some future

DeGrasse Tyson is promoting take time.

Wow, you are just SO far up yourself....

I am open to the possibility that the source of the discord has been
on my side of the equation.

It is clear that the best course of action for me is to step back and
examine that.
