"Historic 1st, Dragon arrives at space station", is removed from Breaking News.

But then, "University allows 38 year old male to use women's bathroom" ....Is somehow breaking news?

A school has liberal agendas? Major breaking stuff?..lol

Fact is, there are individuals out here who are not too happy about the successes here..It can be seen in several posts on this thread...So it was quickly sent to the corn field.

Things can get really ugly folks.

Great job!

I think it should stay in ‘Breaking’ too and wondered why it was pulled. Oh well. It’s historic, no doubt about that. I’m one of those “unhappy people” but my hat is off to SpaceX and it should get top billing.

Many here see space as a big-government boondoggle. Some have religious objections. A handful believe it is an elaborate and expensive hoax.

Which is really too bad. Because like it or not, our only choices are to go into space or go back to the caves. If civilization endures, we will need the stuff that is up there: limitless energy, abundant natural resources and lots and lots of empty space to do the big, audacious and dangerous engineering projects that space-faring civilizations need to do to prosper. Eventually we will need more elbow room, too. There ae several planets and large moons to chose from.

The alternative is the long, slow stagnation, contraction and eventual death of civilization. Human beings don't do "sustainable"-it's not in out nature and never will be. We long to build, to grow, to excel. We always want new, and we always want more. To thrive we need more space and more stuff. The only place left to get it is Up There. We will go up or we will go down. It is really that simple.

Puts away soapbox...
