Their reactions are like those of somebody who has just heard of the death of a loved one, not of somebody who has just returned from successfully completing mans greatest triumph to date. And Im not buying 'they are just emotional' either. Its like they dont want any part of the whole mission and are acting under duress and, in Mike Collins's case, outright fear.

AGREED. These space threads have gotten so boring and predictable I usually try to avoid them. Here is a play-by-play of EVERY SINGLE SPACE THREAD EVER MADE;
OP makes a post (classic opener)
Everyone loves it and praises OP for a brilliant thread
Some brown-noser comes in with an "I don't know guys, let's wait for Phages opinion on this matter"
Phage shows up, throws around come copy+paste from Google, belittles OP, and ends his post with an elitist comment/insult.
Everyone gangs up on OP.
Really. Read any space thread with more than 3 pages. Somewhere in it there is Phage, being an elitist prick.

Let's see how you would act if you were crammed into a tin can the size of a station wagon with two hairy men, blasted into space by a rocket that could explode like a small nuke, spent a week experiencing the same nauseating feeling you get in a falling elevator and lived for that time in constant fear that the least wrong move could instantly leave you to die in the inky cold blackness of space. Oh yeah, there's no bathroom or shower. I don't know about you, but I might find all that a bit stressful.

How am I ignorant? Do you know what that word means?
Nobody has "great knowledge" of space. We know just as much about the afterlife as we do about space. Thousands of years of study and all we really know is "well, it might be infinite" or "we think wormholes might be possible. Maybe."

Stop telling the truth it hurts - Yes when Hubble was born Patrick Moore said - We realise our understanding of the comos is only 1% of what we thought was so - Add on that the cosmos is full of so called dark energy and dark matter some say 90% others 80% so we are still sucking our thumbs in realityedit on 11-1-2012 by artistpoet because: (no reason given)
