When the world tells some that everything that they know to be good is bad, that their very being is unpalatable, and designates every topic and discussion a battleground, presenting in the guise of benevolence and philanthropy a constant and endless harassment and attack on things they feel are important, things they might often feel intrinsically connected with, what would you expect? By which I mean, I'm not at all surprised to see such callousness as you express here, as this site is the definition of hypocrisy.They say truth is stranger than fiction, and after reading the facts below, you’ll be hard-pressed to disagree. And then also look at how many articles do exactly the same. For standing out against the camouflaged majority. For not adopting the sanctioned thoughts. Just take a look at what often even the most supported comments on this site are saying to other people, for simply thinking differently. But, that's the world people make when they ostracise others for things like wrong-think.
That there are those of us, and not a small few, who feel that we need to defend ourselves against a constant onslaught of hubris and vindictiveness from a presuming majority. I personally think those people who consider sesame currency real things are the pathetic ones, the greater disturbance to societal well-being, and that the sad thing is that pissing people off should be a necessary thing in order to remain oneself. More concerned with the ritual, with maintaining the illusion than they are with the reality. Because, like Pete, I objectively observe that most people commenting on this site are frauds and fakes. Objectively points out the normality of the object of their feined objections. Another: Uses the word "snowflake" when referencing people being squeamish about something perfectly normal that has never bothered them until they read it and the communal ritual of practiced disgust ensuing. States quite objectively, that's the cost of space travel. Another: makes light about a space-faring event. Their existence having made negligible difference in the total sum. They will each also not exist for almost all of eternity. Persons numbering barely more than zero next to, again, what have lived, what do live, and what will live. Of one species that thinks for no great reason particularly highly of itself. What contribution you make is personal, made to persons. We'll each live and die within a moment of time that barely existed in all of the billions of years past, let alone what will. While most people would like to -believe- that they have value, objectively speaking we are the grit you would feel on the surface of a moist rock held firmly in your hand, and each individually a dime a dozen. A guy making light of some things and contradicting others, and superficial people chastising him for doing so. I didn't notice any of his comments at first, so went back to see what the fuss was.

A VP at the company called his good friend, the investigator I mentioned, and they called me to ket me know i had not contributed to the disaster. So for 3 days I thought I may have caused the problem and was quite distraught. How did I come by this info, I had worked on the TDRSS fuel and engine systems and when I was watching the launch, I realized immediately it was a pressure-based explosion. That investigator also worked Apollo One right out of college and told me that sad story. I believe he said the person behind had to do the activation, which implied 5 people were conscious. I actually worked on that mission and one of the lead investigators had told me that other than the pilot, copilot and last person in the seating arrangement, all o2 aux systems had been activated.
