re: #18 Targetpractice

Now I’m reminded of the Cosmos episode the other night about how primitive man saw things in the sky he couldn’t explained and began to attach mystical significance to them. What science didn’t know is that primitive man didn’t die out…he just migrated to the internet.

Counterpoint: If a modern educated person is able to grasp why the daytime sky is blue (except in a particular direction… and I’ll advise against looking there), I find it shocking that such a person could be so quick to ridicule ancient beliefs that a Blood Red Moon may be a sign of seriously bad troubles ahead.

Let me pose a question. In the weeks/months after a major volcanic eruption anywhere in this world, or an impact from a small astroid, would you expect the moon to look like it usually does? Eclipse or not.
