Ahh that brings back memories....

While I love the idea of space exploration, sooner or later our stupid government will either: a) Figure out we're broke, or b) Have their credit card declined. That day is coming. I know people have heard for years and years that the national debt is a problem and we've been able to keep going, but unsustainable trends won't.

We can't afford to spend what we spend on space now.

The US used to have the same laws, but they were repealed in the 1980's. Opponents of the change knew what would happen and here we are.

I wouldn't call this 3D, but Voyage of the Valkyrie was a pretty hot game on the TRS-80. However, to call it "popular" is wildly off the mark. Just us geeks in here.

Lighten up... Francis.

That was the most intricate babble of nonsensical non-sequiters that I've ever tried to read. In the immortal words of Butters from SouthPark: "That made my head hurt"
