No sensationalized or editorialized titles; no agenda pushing, especially against well-established science.

No abusive comments.
No spam.
No medical advice.

As someone that loves astronomy and space I asked him why your people don’t gather up money to make a non fish eye lens telescope, and he gave me BS answers. After 5 minutes of debate, I just walked away.
