I think you misread Tango's comment. He's not saying the asteroid rover landing is trash, quite the opposite. @Tango: I think you're right about the inability of most consumers of US media to form intelligent opinions and discussion about such abstract events. However, I would charge the media to convey the importance of such events. On the other hand, sadly, long gone are the days of consumption of in depth aggregated (the best & richest) media and also the personal investments of time people used to make consuming such rich content. Here are the days of real housewives of 'blank' (feel free to subsitute housewives for politicians). We can [must] do better.
