    - We're Going To Mars(!) -- nm - Judah and The Lion Feb 18, 13:18
I'm impressed that the weird gantry rocket thingee worked. I'd have laid money it was way more complex than needed. -- nm - ❄TWuG 🚀 Feb 18, 13:09 6

      - I uh, was not aware of that - JD Feb 18, 13:27 4
        
        It's like American Exceptionalism. They think Earth is just that special. -- nm - mara Feb 18, 13:34 3
        
        (Actually, some of them think other planets may be discs, not spheres, and that it doesn't matter anyway.) -- nm - mara Feb 18, 13:36 2
        
        This is what I had in mind. They're all discs, I can see that as a belief system. One disc amid a universe of spheres really hurts my brain -- nm - JD Feb 18, 13:39 1

        And who finished 2nd in that vote? Cruz Bustamante. It won't be all Republicans running to replace him. -- nm - Fozzie Baron Feb 18, 13:04

- I'm still trying to figure out the - oblique Feb 18, 12:17 2
