^^^^ lately, space exploration has become the fodder of right wing nuts and dooms-day types. Think Space Force. We've been getting data from Mars for several decades now. And based on it, I am willing to bet there are no Martians. How much more you need? And, I certainly have no plans to visit.
Doesn’t matter if there are no Martians. That’s not really the point. We have oodles of data on exactly one planet - Earth - and a tiny amount of data on any other rocky planets. If we are going to understand anything about planet formation, which helps guide the search for other potentially livable planets, we need to expand our data.
my small self... like a book amongst the many on a shelf
Well luckily, Mars isn't the ultimate achievement in this long game. Someday, Mars may just serve as the first pit stop on the way to some place that meets your high standards.

Fair enough. Horses for courses. I'm old fashioned and I have found facebook/Twitter/Instagram just a pointless habit that wastes time and causes problems and conflict when it's not their in real life. That s just my veiw. Too easy to be upset and to upset others. I'm good without all of it

i definitely get that point of view. I've had a twitter account for probably 8-9 years and barely used it until this past summer. The heat here in TX makes it impossible to get outside at that time, so that's a time when I tend to get caught up in this sort of thing. Like I mentioned earlier, I find the opportunity to interact with people i admire from afar quite fascinating. On the other hand, the cynicism and vitriol related to politics eventually wears me down and I have to take a break.
I use instagram because I like pictures. I do use twitter, but sparingly. It's a fucking cess pool. Facebook can just fuck off the earth for all I care. Fuckin Russian ass-kissing mother fucker Zuckerburg.

Let the Records Play is better than the entirety of the pre-1996 discography :^)
You must have played Ten, Vs, Vitalogy, and Merkinball an awful lot to become THAT sick of them!

I don't know how "unpopular" this opinion is (around here, probably a lot) but to my way of thinking/ hearing, Pearl Jam reached the pinnacle of their career with Riot Act. In terms of maturity of composition and playing, drive, focus, commitment and balance, to me that album and era is the greatest peak the band has reached.

I do think I'm colored by not enjoying "the production" of Avocado though. I remember when WWS dropped I loved the song, but felt it was so different from the Pearl Jam I had fallen in love with. Something with the harshness of it and Eddies voice on it. There's just something I can't really explain that makes Avocado something so different from Riot Act to me. Like a new era with a new sound to everything and a different structure to the songs or something.
Can't explain it really.
