I also saw an article several years back that said it's now sometimes referred to as some sort of cave...

Uh, yeah... I think I remember awhile back an item about it now being referred to as some sort of cave...

For the 80 that voted in favor, NO amount of evidence will ever be enough... They don't care about facts or evidence.

Doesn't take very much room - even on an EMB145 - to lob a straight forward shot to the face with a fire extinguisher...

That's pretty good! (LOL) Like you, that would have been a real pain to type all that out -- my editorial hat would have to have been hung on the wall...

True. They're not non-partisan as they like to claim, either. I "watched" online as they frantically tried to modify all their existing pages that had content on the classic definition of "recession" after the White House re-defined yet another part of the English language.

I agree.

Having been chief engineer on this program, it's a sad day to see it being grounded permanently. Two of the best capabilities of SOFIA were 1) It could, on short notice, fly to collect data on parts of the universe that were either impossible or not timely enough for Hubble or any other object limited by orbital mechanics; 2) Numerous payloads designed for specific data collections could be coupled to the telescope and could be changed out in a matter of hours for the next flight mission, again something impossible for any orbiting platform if the desired data collection was not possible with the instruments on the spacecraft. I hope it goes to a museum that can display its history and results.
