So, it's been a while since I've been here. Back in the day we had the Soapbox, but it doesn't seem to be around any longer. What happened to it? Also, I have a funny video to share, but it contains the f-bomb so I don't want to post it to the lounge. Where can I post it?

It descended into a cesspit of trolling and abusive comments, and despite the management giving considerable warning it refused to behave.
So it was killed, it's head chopped off, a stake hammered through it's rotten black heart, and left out in the sunlight to dry up and blow away like dust.
I doubt it will return from this.
As a result, there is no non-KSS location on the site; no place to post a rude joke; no room for the f-word.

Gotcha, and can't say that surprises me. Isn't the Internet fun?

It's fun, and I guess the bottom line is that there's plenty of room (elsewhere) for those types of discussions. I don't exactly oppose this decision.

Funny I should read this here today. It's just been the last few days I've been thinking that perhaps many, if not most human systems appear to follow the second law of thermodynamics.
Namely that, " the Second Law of Thermodynamics states that all closed systems tend to maximize entropy. ... Reversing this ever increasing tendency toward disorder requires the input of energy. That's why housekeeping is so tiresome."

On a separate server, with no internet access, in the basement. When hamsters do not behave, they are temporarily put in the wheel down there.

Eight bytes walk into a bar. The bartender asks, "Can I get you anything?"
"Yeah," reply the bytes. "Make us a double."

Nearly fifty years ago Apollo 17 was the last manned mission to the moon.
Now NASA Artemis[^] is going back, aiming to land a crew in 2024.
Thank ![Elephant | [mastadon]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/elephant.gif) for that: we should have moon bases and a colony on Mars by now!

Yeah! I always assumed my retirement home would be on the moon - low gravity is good for old bones.

I'm sorry to rain on both of our parades, but I don't believe that either the political or public will exists to support manned space travel, at least by the United States. That spirit died somewhere between the last of the Apollo missions and the end of William Proxmire's tenure in the U.S. Senate.
Frankly an announcement like this so close to a presidential election strikes me as a tactic, one to be discarded as soon as the election is over, one way or another.

You wouldn't believe how furious it makes me that I have to make an observation like that. I'm of the opinion that Proxmire ought to be dug up, resurrected, and then publicly executed as a traitor not just to the United States, but to the entire human species. It's his fault that the momentum of the Apollo era wasn't maintained. He made it his goal to saddle NASA with management that was either outright opposed to their mission or incompetent to execute it.

Oh, I disagree. Mr Trump wants to create a new branch of the military: the "Space Force". So far it is only talk, but the private enterprises (SpaceX and a few others) are gearing up. They will provide all of the launch vehicles.
