I2 today is not i2 of yesteryear. It is a knitting circle. Those that participate be they nice or asshats know their place and the price to be there. Odeon is the overlord

.Benevolent if you toe the line.

Think it is I2 of old? Even Odeon is not so delusional as to think otherwise. He may on occasionally pretend otherwise but his base is that knitting circle.

Censoring/banning/restricting/moderating myself, Calanadale & Scrapheap were all not his finest moments.

Turned out that it was a giant leap for mankind indeed. The aspiration to go to the moon, back then, brought 'us' a LOT of the technologies we almost take for granted nowadays.

Well, may he rest in peace..

I always wished that he was more publicly active.  Aldrin would attend your Bar Mitzvah for a ten-spot.

When I think about what these men did it terrifies me.  RIP.

It is far better for people to hate you for doing the right thing than for people to love you for doing the wrong thing. Never ever forget that.

Screw that.  There are enough self-congratulating people in our country.  He didn't want to milk his fame because he knew landing on the moon wasn't something one man should take credit for.

So therefore people shouldn't have wanted more interaction?

Fame is a cancer that good men don't deserve.  There's a reason people like Jonas Salk and Norman Borlaug aren't household names, and that is because they saw their work as something greater than themselves.

That entirely depends on the household I guess
