I really wish that one day I can visit another planet. :3

There are more than enough amateur astronomers out there. Or so, I hoped. Did they all turn amateur politicians and armchair generals now?

You make an excellent point. After moving back to Norway from London I found the skies are a lot clearer there in general and that made me more interested in what is happening outside the limits of our stratosphere. Sadly not many people get to see the starry sky in all its glory due to pollution, and I guess that is a thing that doesn't help your thoughts and mind.

It seems that the trend her on /. is to reply less to space-related posts, and rather indulge in trivial online debates over something that happened on Facebook and whether or not choice is a good thing for Android.

This disheartens me. I have logged in again after a long period of inactivity to state my interest in space-related posts here and I would like to see more of that and less of trivial drama that may or may not be related to stuff that matters.

I am prepared to be downmodded for this but I am a willing martyr to get the point across.

There was another film about this...

That reminds me of a puzzle!

Well, every niche that has article writers is that, unfortunately. Gaming press is even corrupt to the point they are being told to give good reviews to the games.

I don't trust journalism for good reasons. I wish I didn't have to but they are making it hard for me not to remain skeptical.

Just like any other physical trait.

All that tape, cables and patchwork. It looks like a real garage project. :3

Exactly this. Favoritism is always bad.

I think the Ouya has a real competitor on its hands now. You could say it's bog, like Sonic the Hedgehog.

Proclaiming yourself to be a geek and then proceed to buy a hyped-up expensive product by a big corporation does not correlate. Want to be a real "geek" then watch anime, become a brony and get a dakimakura. Bonus points for going to cons. Extra bonus points for dressing up like your favourite character. Extra extra bonus points for ending up on Your cosplay sucks.

Why do you want it?

I have no idea why I should pay a lot for something I strap on my head to do what exactly? It's not making stuff around me levitate or otherwise make my life any more spectacular than I make it myself. It also cannot replace a strong drug effect if you are into that.

Remember the Virtua Boy? That's what I am thinking of when I think of Google Glass. If I want a novelty item to strap to my head my money is on the Oculus Rift.
