I don't know, I think the Space race was a big part of the Cold War - the Cold War ultimately boiled down to one side bankrupting the other. It was like a giant contest of keeping up with the Joneses. Once conventional warfare was off the table because of the Nukes, the main two components of Cold Warfare were the Space Program and the Intelligence Services - Spies and Astronauts: they were the only Cold Warriors that really saw any action (other than Korea and Vietnam). At least, a lot of political scientists have argued this point.

The "Current Events" have to be a joke...this is clearly set-up as a practical joke...I hope.
"We of the Flat Earth Society are willing to do what it takes to make our message known. We may have started small, but we're branching out and earning the trust and following of lots of people. Although the steps we've taken may seem a little drastic to the outside observer, we feel that, in the end, the net gain will justify the means. Here are a few of our victories. . . -----In the small town of Grass Roots, MO, one of our members has successfully infiltrated the public education system. By being hired on as a teacher in the district, she was able to gain a foothold that has allowed us to "replace" nearly every lower grade teacher in the entire town with loyal Flat Earthers. The students are now undergoing deprogramming measures and are expected to be released when they reach their mid-thirties. Over a period of several months, over half of the workers in the Wisconsin state prison system were "relocated", their positions filled by our associates. The list of replacements includes 7 guards, 957 cafeteria workers, 3716 Pepsi machine repairmen and 14 members of the clergy. With our operatives strategically emplaced, the convicts and felons are being given a healthy dose of "pro-Flat Earth" propaganda. Success story: Upon escaping during a bloody shootout that left 19 prison workers and 27 prisoners dead, a reformed felon known only as "Rasp" went directly to a payphone and contacted our HQ. He is currently working in place of "retired" health-care worker Mr. Sonnovin at the Green Acres nursing home in Charlamange, WI. -----After spending over sixteen million dollars and using over 48 thousand yards of industrial strength strapping tape, we of the Flat Earth Society were able to construct an enormously powerful neurotransmitter that can implant suggestions directly into the brains of the nearby non-Flat Earthers. Having set it up just outside of the Russian Antarctic exploration post (Vostok), we are awaiting word that all three scientists and 174 penguins have been shown the light. -----Three loyal Flat Earth Society members, during a camping trip to the small African nation of Tunisia, came across a privately-owned 59 minute photo stand in the isolated northernmost corner of the desert country. Employing guerilla warfare techniques learned under Mao Zedong in the early 1920's, they were able to effortlessly seize control of the stand and are now using it to distribute pro-Flat Earth propaganda throughout the West African region. -----On an unrelated note, we of the Flat Earth Society would like to wish a very happy forty-fifth birthday to Edmund Wilbur, our Vice-President in charge of Public Relations. Happy birthday to you, Wilbur, and to all our other members whose birthdays are also today, but whose importance fails to merit a mention by name. -----Dilligent Flat Earth Society members under the employ of Delta Airlines undertook a project which will no doubt bring countless numbers of motion-sickness prone individuals into the ranks of our organization. Using only permanent markers and every airsickness bag on planes restricted to west coast travel, they were able to neatly outline the Flat Earth Society mission statement on enough receptacles so as to spread our creed to those of the masses with overly sensitive inner ears. -----Your dog has joined us." Funny shite for sure! |

I am interested to know more about what you mean. I don't understand why it would be considered a 4-D cube. Do you have a link you could provide. Seriously, I'm not trying to provoke anything, I just don't see how it's 4-D. It just looks like a 2-D drawing of a 3-D object.

I really don't want this post to come across as condescending, but:
It's astonishing to me that here in the future we call 2009 people still need to be convinced that the earth is round and man has been to the moon. Thankfully there are folks like Zefram and Tanksmasher around who have the patience to explain it. My family has been a part of the aerospace/astrospace industry for three generations and we all subscribe to the Buzz Aldrin answer to moon doubters. There is no greater achievement in mankind's history than our many trips to the moon (and back). It should be a source of great pride and admiration for every human that walks on this earth instead of a supreme waste of effort and time in doubting it. |

The earth is really a disk that is supported by 4 elephants that stand on the back of a giant turtle.
