    If my parents were paying the $33.5k tuition to Pratt and I came home after a few years and showed them that I spent my time gluing together parts from a joystick.... they would not be pleased.

    This is PRECISELY why we are putting together a portable Hyperstar CCD imaging setup for our own deep-sky astrophotography projects this Winter!

    I guess people don't realize it but we're still living in the dark ages of Science, we've made a lot of progress in the last century, but we've barely figured out how things work, and we still haven't gotten mass acceptance of certain scientific discoveries.

    One could only wonder what our scientific knowledge will look like now a millennium from now.

    Millennium from now? That if indeed we are still around.. The earth is 4.6 billion years old and hmm, the Human race only 200-600,000 years old- hopefully we'll still be around if we were to already figured out how to colonize outside of this planet before the next species cleansing happens on this planet.

    One group making a mistake doesn't mandate a shift of an entire nation. Has there been a repeat of the incident in the past ten years? If not, it only attests to the notion that the status quo is sufficient.
