“But the shuttle is now over. The ISS is due to be de-orbited, in the inelegant jargon of the field, in 2020. Once that happens, the game will be up. There is no appetite to return to the moon, let alone push on to Mars, El Dorado of space exploration. The technology could be there, but the passion has gone—at least in the traditional spacefaring powers, America and Russia.
With luck, robotic exploration of the solar system will continue. But even there, the risk is of diminishing returns. Every planet has now been visited, and every planet with a solid surface bar Mercury has been landed on. Asteroids, moons and comets have all been added to the stamp album. Unless life turns up on Mars, or somewhere even more unexpected, public interest in the whole thing is likely to wane. And it is the public that pays for it all.” —The end of the Space Age (via crookedindifference)

about a game that you’re playing …one that i’m not even watching (or can watch for that matter since it IS fictional and all.)
…it’s a bit awkward…
I’m sorry I’m not into sports video games! You don’t need to talk to me about it. and keep constantly commenting about the FIFA game you’re playing that I don’t care much about. You’re online having a conversation with a friend. not yourself.
come on, don’t you understand my words?

I haven’t taken enough Engineering classes for me to get this.
But i’m already sad.
Let’s see how my sophomore engineering classes turn out hah.
