- nodesocket 7mo agoWhat a curmudgeon. You must be great dinner company.
- mgfist 7mo agoI think we've all become to numb and jaded. This is the first moon mission in 50 years and the furthest any human has ever been from Earth.
- rootusrootus 7mo agoIndeed, the world is so grim these days that I welcome even a little bit of relief, a little bit of hope for a better future.
- k33n 7mo agoOnly the internet is grim. The actual world is better than its ever been.
- da_chicken 7mo agoMore than that, people today seem to be saturated with sarcasm. It's especially tragic with younger people who seem to have no experience with handling genuine sincerity. They laugh nervously at it, as if they're unfamiliar with how to handle someone saying what they actually think and feel.
- ggm 7mo agoIt's fully scripted. The hokum is pre-planned.
- willis936 7mo agoThe questions from the news agencies and their responses are not scripted. I encourage you to listen to the Q&As the astronauts and ground crew had during the mission and judge their character on that. You won't find any public figure / politician with any amount of media training that even comes close to their level of genuine humanism, humility, and professionalism.
- bombcar 7mo agoSomeone hasn't stayed awake all night listening to YouTube ATC. I recommend Kennedy Steve.
- ggm 7mo agoThanks for the tip!
- block_dagger 7mo agoI read "Shakspear" as a combination of Shaquille O'Neal and William Shakespeare.
- roxolotl 7mo agoTo dunk or not to dunk. I’d pay to see Shaq on broadway.
- LastTrain 7mo agoHard disagree. Yes it is corny for us oldies but channel your 12yo self watching Cosmos.
