Yeah they were married. The 90s were a strange and wonderful time.

It's almost like they know exactly what they're doing.

That article just screamed of bitterness and contempt.

I think what irritates me most about the "narrative" that the media portrays is the misleading cop out that we have to fit everything into that '5 min' time slot. This coming from 24 HOUR NEWS NETWORKS that literally have all the time of day to report and report thoroughly. And yet all the consumer gets is the same hour or so of reports and news bulletins looped over and over and said in so many other words from so many other pundits while never actually saying anything new.

It's part of the reason why I decided to stop pursuing journalism because real journalism just doesn't exist anymore, or in the small instances that it does -- it gets swept aside or marginalized to the back pages.

I wonder then, is there any way to change this? The internet provides the distribution, the channel to get stories out and voices heard, but is it even feasible? Could an independent reporting group have come into Sadr City during the time you were there, or is there just way too much red tape involved?

Does independent journalism have any chance at seeing and reporting what goes on in war zones, or is that always going to be restricted to the major networks who inevitably do nothing with the access and platform they've been granted?

Thank you for your service!

hi guys!

I have a question that doesn't pertain specifically to the Lunar X Prize but maybe similar in idea but much smaller in scale.

How difficult would it be today for say a team of students at MIT, Harvard, Cal Tech, etc. to, with NASA/SpaceX guidance and supervision, send a craft into space, have it orbit the earth, then land safely back onto earth?

I'm really curious to find out if we've advanced technologically to the point in which it's reasonably achievable to design and launch a craft to orbit the earth.
