For a while I was staring at the General section, and there were still posts incoming for the Chick-fil-a thread, but no thread at all for Curiosity. That was kind of sad, all I'm saying.

I really don't think it will.
"The Nixon campaign in 1968, and the Nixon White House after that, had two enemies: the antiwar left and black people. You understand what I'm saying? We knew we couldn't make it illegal to be either against the war or black, but by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and blacks with heroin, and then criminalizing both heavily, we could disrupt those communities. We could arrest their leaders. raid their homes, break up their meetings, and vilify them night after night on the evening news. Did we know we were lying about the drugs? Of course we did."—former Nixon domestic policy chief John Ehrlichman

There's no reason why you can't discuss is there. They already mentioned the landing on that thread

My god, I actually didn't hear about it anywhere on the news, and I keep it going all-day when I'm at work.
*thinks hard* I do recall something around six about NASA doing an unspecified something, but I don't think they ever said it was going to be a rover landing on f***ing MARS. They mentioned it then moved on to Romney-Obama and Wisconsin-shooting.

Another great day for NASA, and a bad day for the taxpayer. How long will we let NASA waste our precious tax dollars that could be spent elsewhere in the economy? Abolishing NASA would lower taxes allowing us to purchase things that we actually need. Landing on Mars presents no more of a scientific significance than landing in the desert, albeit at least in the desert there are actual lifeforms and occurrences we could learn about, not just red rocks and sand. NASA is a waste of money, and should be abolished immediately.

At this rate, we'll only know that we've put someone on Mars if they get their own reality TV show.
That was the most pessimistic sentence I've written this week!
