This Just In... Space: Not all it's cracked up to be?

Space has been and will continue to be the final frontier for quite some time. It has captivated humanity ever since our evolving intelligence has allowed us to do so. However, in light of recent scientific breakthroughs some have questioned it's importance. With Pluto being stripped of its status as a planet, Aerospace contributor Copernicus brings up a solid point, Space sucks.

You'’re fired!

Never heard of 134340? Well you should, it is the new name for the planet formerly known as Pluto. Not only has Pluto been stripped of its planet status, now it'’s just a number in space, literally.

This is a glorious event in the destruction of the interest, study, and over all admiration of space. Space is one of the most idiotic concepts. How people become fascinated with it is astonishing. Stars, planets, galaxies are all pretty synonymous with horrible. When I think of space I also think of the token overweight kid in your high school algebra class. You know the one, dressed in all black, who played Dungeons & Dragons or with Magic Cards. Space was that guy'’s best friend.

What is the fascination with space? The infinite possibilities and lack of knowledge make the idea itself completely foolhardy. Why not be content to try and learn about the earth, where we live, instead of some bullshit life form on the frozen tundra of ______________(insert your favorite planet, dork).

I am on a crusade to discredit space and anything related. Actually, it'’s more to just ridicule anyone who is fond of it. The pink slip recently handed to the pseudo-planet Pluto gave me much joy. No one knows shit about "“outer space."” I'll just leave it up to all the space cadets to contradict them selves. All of them pretty much live a fantasy land, which is commonly known to us non-space people as their parents'’ basement. I mean, who declared Pluto a planet in the first place? Get a life, or a real job.
