Too many lulz to count.Never said I was so enlightened, but I'm obv seeing the bigger picture a lot better than you are. I post factual evidence, whereas you resort to ad hom attacks when you realise that there's no longer any way for you to present a sound case. To think that someone has to be an academic for them to have credibility is a terrible fallacy; take a look at all the math wiz' that play poker who never got a degree. I played poker for a living for a good few years, and did a fair bit of reading in my spare time, so I can more than hold my own on subjects such as space travel. Even if I did roll off a load of life accomplishments that you considered worthy achievements - you still wouldn't change your mind, because you are too much of a bigot to do so.
Ok Mr. Critical Thinker...
Since you're so enlightened please do us a favor. Other than failing at peddling sun tan lotion in a third world country, please list your academical and life achievements up to this point so that we can see for ourselves why you should be considered such an authority on such a vast array of complex subjects like space travel.
