It's a shame that NASA and other space organizations cannot simply have
what they do be enough to attract the public without having to resort to
transient cultural references or how what NASA does in space benefits
people on Earth tripe.

A sure sign of the failure of the education system and most science
groups and scientists' efforts to inform and enlighten the public.

One telling example of how much they are stretching this is the reference
on the Ciclops page to how the Beatles and the Space Age arrived together.

Give me a break.

And it's an American space probe that returned all those amazing images.
If they want to turn NASA in MTV Lite, then at least use an American group,
rather than some guy who was in a band that broke up 40 years ago.

Or classical music. 2001 showed how well that worked.

The standards are lowered once again.
