Comment Keep Changing Mission (Score 1) 223

Every 4 to 8 years NASA keeps having its mission changed. So much waste of money canceling programs because a new President wants something else. Also, because of what appears to be incompetence at companies like Boeing. President Trump has advocated sending humans to mars at least since 2019 so it isn't entirely Elon Musk influencing him. I've always been in favor of robotic exploration versus human. It's many times less expensive. Still, as long as we stick with the same mission for longer than one President, I'll take it.

Comment If it's part of the plot (Score 1) 229

If Climate Change is part of the theme or plot of the movie, sure. For instance, a post-apocalyptic movie could include Climate Change as the cause or our reaction to Climate Change could be the cause. I don't need gratuitous mention of Climate Change. I don't see movies for politics or social commentary especially being preached at.

Comment Re:Why is this news? (Score 1) 239

I wonder if anyone can, for a moment, consider that the person that used that phrase "thin blue line" wasn't using it as code for his fascist belief. I have known that phrase all my life. Many TV programs as I grew up used it. I stay away from political discussions as much as I can. I had no idea the phrase was used that way.
