It is sometimes easy to get depressed about our species; looking around on this mud ball there is plenty of killing, oppression and other ills.

It is astonishing to consider that a man made device is flying to the further reaches of the solar system and sending back pictures of the ex-planet Pluto. With all our faults and limitations, the human race can still do amazing things.
Now if National Gird could be made to understand that there really is an Old South Pearl Street besides Pearl Street so they could turn the power on in my new house .........................................

The post that was quoted here has been removedThere are plenty of other threads where you are free to rail against what Nazis or the US government did more than half a century ago.
I was hoping this thread could be an uplifting oasis. More and better pictures of Pluto are due in later tonight or early tomorrow. I'm anxious to see them no matter what happened at Mittelbau-Dora before I was born.

The post that was quoted here has been removedWhere is your evidence for that? I never heard such a thing before. It is true that the U.S. and Russia hired some of the German scientist and engineers, but I had never heard they were involved in torturing anyone in the concentration camps.
