Yes let me find it. NASA and Brevard County are actually going back and forth about whether they want tourists to go to Cape Canaveral. NASA is saying stay home while the county is saying everyone come.

He will likely argue a really stupid point, choose a very strange hill to die on, and then move the goal posts 20 times until you get tired of arguing in circles with him.

Edit - yep that's what he's doing lol

You mind if I use it?

Serious question why do you do that?

As in posting sub or ttt in a thread?

What is the purpose of this?

Umm, it's not very progressive of you to use the term "frontier". That word conjures up images of the genocide perpetrated against the Inidigenous people of North America as the colonists moved west. Lord Trudeau is going to be so mad when he finds out about this.
