It was cold and clear last night, and the blue moon was beautiful. It looked like a big flashlight in the sky. After getting out of the car and looking upward my wife reiterated her previous remarks about how before I set her straight she had always thought of the moon as generating it’s own light, pretty much like the sun, only on a smaller scale, a regular “glow-in-the-dark” lunar surface, you understand.
So, of course, you informed her that
cheese does not, in fact, phosphoresce.

in that scenario.
Most people don’t know the difference between a star and planet. Most believe in “falling stars”.
My wife has no interest in whether life exists elsewhere in the universe, and once admitted it wouldn’t matter to her one way or the other if we found a Coke can on Mars.
That NASA, always finding a new con to gain funding.

You’re a brave man, Doug. I take my hat off to you.
