Its that delightful sort of question that causes your eyes to completely roll back in your head and your bowels to involuntarily empty.Mind meltingly idiotic... When I was in high school, my friend used to inform me that they saw some spaceship (usually it was Soyuz to Mir space station) launched on the yesterday’s news...That was the good part.........bad part was when they asking me: "Are they going to the Moon" or "Where they are going (meaning Moon,Mars,Jupiter,Saturn)" which would be more difficult for me because I would have to explain to them what EARTH ORBIT means... --------------------
