It used to be that I could not explain why I continued to waste my time with the "Mars Enthusiasts" who ended up here after MSNBC Space was stopped, but now I understand at least part of what fascinated me about them.
I am still seeking to learn whether there is some unifying trauma which causes them to fixation in escapist fantasies, so do continue...
