Lets face it, everything about space IS political.
everything from commercial satellites, to the manned programs, to the science programs is driven by the politics of Washington, Moscow, and a few other space wantabes.
Its not suprising therefore, that a primarily space BBS would develop a political BBS offshoot.
But with that said, I agree that we can discuss the politics of space on the politics board. I wish it would happen more often.
