It will be interesting to see how this develops, considering how close they are.

I don't look at YouTube videos, but I already know you posted a good one. Some people will claim NASA has made it up to get more money; if this were true, the media would've jumped on it. I think the basic question is whether the world is getting its money's worth? Let's say I hope so.

Why don't you look at youtube videos? I find that videos on websites other than youtube take ages to load. I thought you would have posted something about this so I did instead. NASA would be insane to do that. It would lose all credibility and I think it struggles for funding, especially considering the anti-science Govt. you have now.

My posts with links have a nasty habit of disappearing at this forum.

Like many people, I have my own YouTube app in my smartphone. What happens there is soon as I look up a suggested video, the related videos changes which can be hard to get back. Plus due to DarwinX, I grew to have a certain distaste for YouTube videos. So I try to avoid those videos.

I thought the video was beautifully made and quite moving, so I thought I would share it.

Yeah, my last visit was just prior to election day, and I've been sick to death ever since the election. I'm still feeling a bit woozie and expect to feel that way for approximately 3 years and 9 months. But I'm sure I'll be feeling better then. ;-) And thanks for the friendly acknowledgement. Of course it's back at you, except that it's good to see you're still here, no matter how we may eventually go at one another, depending on the topic at hand. ;-) :-* (<- that's a kiss, on the cheek of course!)

Hey veggie, why the blackness of your avatar, has darkness descended upon your life somehow? I surely hope not! :(
