I think there's a difference between you insulting 90% of a class and them not connecting with you, and everyone under 30 being against space exploration. I (21) can think of literally nobody who would say they're against space exploration, but as a non-american and non-european I'm not paying for it so I guess the idea of there being a down-side never really comes up.

age-ism. I like that.
I'm not trying to insult anyone and I also think the 30-40 year old crowd would maybe give one shit more than the younger crowd does. This wasn't meant as a rant and I didn't intend it to came across as one.

The biggest problem is that NASA is not big on the PR front. I've always thought NASA should work out a deal with Mattel to make a Space Station and Shuttle model for kids 6-10 years old and let the kids teach the parents. Or have astronaut trading cards. NASA does what NASA does without much thought of who knows about it. A good website to find out what NASA does is NASA Watch . This website has no affiliation with NASA but sometimes has very good info.

"And yet there are a myriad of myopic mongrels who masticate over the imagined misallocation of our efforts"

That's some deep shit there.

That's why some guy made those Carl Sagan videos. He wanted to help out the non-existent NASA PR department.
