The Internet, at the moment, is a magnificent achievement in the distillation of humanity. We are at our best and at our worst in here.

But we do not live in cyberspace. We live on a beautiful but small blue and green rock which struggles to support ever-growing species. Boys, one day we're going to need to expand.

Say hello to Space.

On one day, mankind was united in a common cause that is now looked upon as the greatest event in the 20th century.


Another set forth a number of barriers that continues to divide mankind.


Space, as it was that one fateful year when mankind took its giant leap into its future.

Excuse me, sir. Seeing as how the V.P. is such a V.I.P., shouldn't we keep the P.C. on the Q.T.? 'Cause if it leaks to the V.C. he could end up M.I.A., and then we'd all be put out in K.P.

Getting to the moon reveals something to us: that it's going to be really fucking difficult once we stay there.

Moondust is a bitch. Not to mention in vacuum, constructing a moon base would be near impossible. Even more, we found that the suits the astronauts are wearing is not enough to protect them from the dust. So, its not all dickwaving.

There's also space junk travelling at you at (insert hyperbole here) speeds.
