@corpore-metal: I'd go for that. As you say, a clear set of steps, a plan, if you will, by NASA or a join international agency, laying out what he thought we need to colonize. I believe going to Mars would be a part of that, but I suppose it doesn't necessarily have to (probably colonize the moon, first, in other…

@corpore-metal: Yes, you're right. The ISS is an international effort, but I was envisioning something more stable and formal, with specified goals (like, say, land on Mars) and levels of responsibilities.

@corpore-metal: Actually, not quite. Constellation has a very well-defined mission, the problem was that the Ausustine Commision (which I believe was Obama's way of handing off the responsibility for all this, I don't think space is a priority to him at all) determined there wasn't going to be enough money for it to…

@corpore-metal: Since Apollo started in 1961, every NASA manned space program has been under constant pressure, that it's never worth all the money sunk into it and it would be better off spent elsewhere (but you can't seriously believe our underfunded education system would suddenly be miraculously fixed if all of…

@corpore-metal: I don't care whether or not the U.S. has to lead, but I think we should be a big part of continued manned space exploration. I suppose a joint-nation manned program would be ideal, but I don't see that happening.

@Evets Tsorb: I'm no Obama apologist since his proposed cancellation endangers my job, but this was actually Bush's doing. But at least he had something in mind to replace it, and for the end of that, before it even begins, you can blame Obama for.

@evildead1971: As much as I loved SM2, I like to give it a snarky subtitle: Spiderman 2: The One Where Everyone Finds Out Who He Really Is.

You mean you don't just get all stretchy and warped and psychedelic and come out the other side all okey-dokey? Dammit, Disney, that's the last time you lie to me!

@evildead1971: I've always said I was born about 500 years too soon.

I'm pretty "meh" about Spidey nowadays.

@Infernorhythm: Seconded. I still like Returns and will defend it to this day, but he was definitely the best part.

@AngriestGeek: I agree. There's no need, and as much as I like Cave, I just don't think a new one will be better.

@necgray: I actually do agree, and believe it or not, I don't expect, or even necessarily want, a 100% faithful adaption. But I think you have to be able to capture the core of the original material, and I think this is where Smallville has strayed too far. It just doesn't feel like superman to me anymore. The core of…

@Scaramanga9: Sorry. Just seem to be in a crabby mood today. Shouldn't have taken it out on you.

Man, that's not fair. I can't see FB at work. *sulks*

@necgray: Oh, certainly there are some similarities and I can understand the confusion, but if that was anything other than a WB sanctioned show, it would be sued for copyright infrigement. It seems a lot like Superman, but it's not.

@Charlie Jane Anders: Yeah, sorry. I didn't mean it as a knock on you guys. It's probably just the frustration of not being there. I can't imagine it's easy to be there and have to work, too.

@SupaChupacabra: Lol, ain't that the truth. The sequel always seems to be better and then the third tanks stupendously. Let's hope not with Batman 3 or Iron Man 3.

I'm thinking this is where Clu 2.0 becomes the villain, and the betrayal is from him, so Kevin has to go back into the world to stop him and never comes back.

@Scaramanga9: Don't worry, Hollywood and Apple will tell you what to think.
