I used to be a big supporter of the government and a huge nasa fan. I was proud to know I lived in the greatest country ever and we were always the good guys. Obvious to me like Star Wars Empire vs Rebels. I was so proud of my grandfathers, both fought in wwii. One was a hero in Germany, he was shot down 3 different times and they couldn't stop him. My opther grandpa worked for a rocket fuel producer on the Saturn rocket program and knew Werner Von Braun personally in Alabama. Ive been sad to learn over the last 25 years that everything they fought for was a lie and that I've been intentionally miseducated my whole life. Sad to learn the truth about Werner, and then to learn that truth is probably a lie also. Now I'm always a downer, haha. Not in real life but when talking to the smart people here on soju.

I know what you mean. I realize, now, that whatever the gov told me was true has no bearing on what was/is really true. Also, I, too, gave up the NASA stuff. I won’t get into my ideas so I won’t sound like a downer around these super smart folk but it’s not what it seems either.
