La Mort de l'Exploration Spatiale

[Darunia]

I once happened upon a man who was yelling at a rock. Why, I asked, are you yelling at this rock? He informed me that it was not a rock, but rather, a large and menacing hippopotamus. It was plain to me that he was mistaken... what he was in fact yelling at was nothing more than a common, every day igneous rock, no larger than a grapefruit. 'You're mistaken', I told him. 'That is merely a rock'. But, he was unswayed, and maintained that it was a hippopotamus. He could not be made to see reason, and so I left him to himself.

Pray tell, Edenmaster, if the landing of men on the moon was as nothing but a penis contest, then what to you is the pinnacle of human accomplishment?

There is nothing I can do to change your opinion. As I said before, we are just two different people and we view the world very differently. I had hoped that in so plainly pouring out my heart I may have swayed you to maybe see things differently, but I was wrong. Rather than argue and go back and forth on what consitutes a greater budgetary priority, I will find something else to do. I have said all that I need to say.
