The voyager series are my favorite space craft. I wish we had more deep space missions nowadays.

I have no problem with libertarians (as in libertarian socialists the original meaning of that word).
I have a problem with whatever happened in the US when a bunch of capitalists took the word “Libertarian” to mean “Controlled by 5 rich corpos and lets legalise sex trafficking”, and everyone just went along with that word change.
