- If you could change NASA's Mission statement what would you change it to? * Jim, did you take anything in Apollo 13 that you intended to leave on the Moon for posterity and if so, did it ever get there? * What do you think about the Space Shuttle? In retrospect was it the right way to go? * Is there any value in going to the Moon again? Should we go somewhere else instead? * What would be the biggest challenge in making a self sustaining colony on the Moon/in Space? * A lot of research as been done with extended stays in zero-G. Should we be making spacecraft with 1-G living environments?

I never realized what a brilliant speaker Michael Foot was until this week. I only remembered the caricature of him by the 1980s tabloids.

stuartcw on Hey Reddit, is what Tom Hanks says in this video @ 1:25-1:53ish true? *HISTORY BUFFS NEEDED*
It can' t be proven. There is no definition as to what a "Great Nation" is and to what degree of family is meant by "relation". If you consider the large European States as "Great Nations", then they were all Monarchies which, by definition, pass on power to relatives, even if the relation is distant and contrived. When a line dies out, the succession goes on to a relative, even if the relationship extends several generations back to a common regal ancestor. If you take Great Britain as an example, the last King to be selected by by a council (witenagemot) was Harold the First who was defeated by William at the Battle of Hastings. Even so, Harold was Edward the Confessor's brother-in-law, which you could call a relative and you can argue that Harold was not the King of a great nation as he was by modern standards not King of the whole Island.
