Careful, you might be committing a nanoaggression with that statement.
I see your Collier's magazine reference from 50 years ago and raise you a recent peer-reviewed article:
"Why the NASA Approach Will Likely Fail to Send Humans to Mars for Many Decades to Come"
The problem is not a particular president or a particular Congress. It's the fact that space missions have, somehow, become politicized.
A central question within the political debate is: "why send people on long-term missions at all?" Astronauts and companies building capsules for people don't want us thinking too hard about that question.
If we want to explore outer worlds to learn more about them, the logical and financially viable answer is to send out autonomous robots engineered for outer space. People are simply not designed to be outside of the Earth's atmosphere or in zero G, or away from an incredibly complex biosphere that gives us food, water, and microorganisms that help us live.
It's time we realize that every space drama we have seen on TV is fiction, created in 1G gravity.
Please, someone reply with something hopeful, like "On the whole, overhyping topics is actually on the decrease"....
Hi Licht,
My mouse failed when I was moderating one of your Windows 10 comments, and I accidentally selected "Redundant" instead of "Insightful". I wanted to let you know, and this was the only way I knew how without undoing my other mods.
"How Brain Architecture Leads To Abstract Thought"
Really, now that sounds super interesting, I've been waiting my whole life to read this story!
Oh, wow, the story is actually not about that at all. Could it be someone cynically posted this story with an overhyped title to get a few extra clicks?
Can someone please tell the story poster that there are people trying to find a new website with accurate information. Seeing lazy, clickbait headlines makes me want to hurl.
I completely Disagree. The outcome of a trial is based on a jury, which is rarely a rational group of folks. People accept plea deals to avoid life-crushing penalties if they lose at trial. And don't tell me you really believe everyone convicted by a jury is actually guilty.
I'm glad someone else had a problem with the end of the summary.
Was that last statement intended to irritate all of the logical thinkers on this site, i.e. nearly everyone?
As an American elementary school student in the 1970's, I was exposed to these kinds of "educational films" in school:

Demonizing socialism has been a well-funded effort within the United States for as long as I've been alive. Apparently it makes the Overlords feel safer.
Why not just put all the terrorist sites on the same Series of Tubes, then stick a giant cork in there whenever they start contradicting our carefully constructed narrative?
All those articles mentioned are actually just blog posts. The article hopes you will lose interest and not actually look those papers up in your closest university library. Because they will not be there.

Gather around, kids, and hear the story about the time, before 1987, when News actually meant something special...
Fairness Doctrine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
Though even when it was around, the News did not seem a whole lot different. There was still censorship and bias in the choice of which stories to run, and the editors decided how to frame the "multiple perspectives" on a single story. Which is kind of incredible, if you think about it.
Don't feed the News Troll. They want your painties in a twist.
My guess: "As you get older, news is more and more likely to make you gag."
