The RIP Thread...

[Burnham]

No sadness...that little piece of hardware was designed for a life expectancy of 3 months, and it ran for 15 years. Amazing success.

But yes...RIP, Opportunity.

When we colonize the planet, and they eventually find it, it will become a Martian National Treasure.

 

[Burnham]

Indeed.

I really lost a lot of respect for McCain in these last several years.

What I could never figure out is how a man like him, who had seen the worst of humanity, could be so willing...eager even...to send folks to war or inflict war on others.

That really bothers me on a personal level.

War is Blood sacrifice ... known or unknown by those who vote for it
