Reporter: So, Commander, after all you've just gone through, I have to ask you the same question a lot of people back home are asking about space these days. Is it worth it? Should we just pull back, forget the whole thing as a bad idea and take care of our own problems at home?
Commander Sinclair: No, we have to stay here. And there's a simple reason why. Ask 10 different scientists about the environment, population control, genetics, and you'll get 10 different answers. But there's one thing every scientist on the planet agrees on. Whether it happens in a hundred years, or a thousand years, or a million years, eventually our sun will grow cold and go out. When that happens, it won't just take us. It'll take Marilyn Monroe, and Lao-Tzu, and Einstein, and Morabuto, and Buddy Holly, and Aristophanes. And all of this.. all of this was for nothing. Unless we go to the stars.
I coughed up the $39 for the ad-free version just because of their handling of this. As others have said, it's nice to see someone (counter)attack with humor than with litigation.
Holy cow! I read this and almost thought I said it. With one exception, I found Chewbacca's gun; or at least the doctor did when she pulled it out of my knee after I was crawling around looking for Vader's lightsaber (same color carpet).
Something about that just sounds Wrong when I re-read it.
I haven't read all the comments yet, so if I'm repeating something, shrug and move along...
I think the obvious solution is to round up all the hoax believers, put them on a shuttle, and drop them off on the moon. Make sure they have spacesuits, since you want them to have time to appreciate the situation. Also, don't forget to film the looks on their faces as you depart without them...

Good luck suing the dead and infirm.
Didn't QuarterDeck release cards that allowed you to have Expanded Microsoft Stuff and even eXtended Microsoft Stuff?
Damn, they should've used an unsigned char. They could've closed 255 instead of only 127. Or they could've used an int and closed 2,147,483,647.
I don't think an unsigned int, nor a long long would've been necessary.

Where do you think you are? FARK?
But I'm tired of rocking and rolling all night and partying every day! I just want want a nap.
...than when I just burned a copy of the previous release.
I'm so behind the times.
Literally
Seriously, though, those images are amazing.
And this is different from normal how?

Now if only they're release a Jive version...
Forget the control key. Where's the any key?!? I can't continue like this!
