I tried reading two different series from Stephen R. Donaldson, and it seemed to me he was somehow unable to write a book without a horrific rape. I just stopped reading the first book in each case because I felt like they were salacious and hateful.

Is 48 old enough? I feel older, if that helps.
Too late, unfortunately.
I read somewhere that so much of the Saturn V development wasn't documented properly, or the documentation has been lost, that it's hard to easily build that system anymore. In that sense, I guess, we've forgotten how to do it. Obviously, the math and physics are still understood, so it should be as simple as designing a rocket of equal or greater capacity, and it appears we have.
Apparently, the Artemis I mission already put an unmanned mission with the Orion spacecraft through to orbit the moon and return safely to the Earth. They're planning a crewed flyby in 2025 and Artemis III is projected to land sometime later this decade.
It's a crime I didn't know that before looking things up about the Saturn V.
I understand thalassophobia. The deep is scary. Funny thing is, though, I can handle being on a ship or flying over water, even though I think about how far down it might be.
Grey aliens. Yep, I know they're almost certainly not real. They freak me the frack out. It's undoubtedly all the UFO stuff I read as a kid about abductions and such. A very petite friend once threatened to dress up as one in a realistic costume to scare me in the night. I begged her not to for her personal safety: I'm certain I would not react in a safe or rational way.
Being alone at night creeps me out because of this. Driving alone in a remote, low population locale? Horrifying.
Nevertheless, I still read up on stories and other media about the paranormal. Why am I like this? No idea.
It hasn't ruined my life or anything. I've spent time alone far away from people, when I had to. I can go places at night. It's just something that creeps into my mind sometimes. I function as a grown ass man, but I still get the creeps about it when I'm alone. I don't know that I'll ever completely shake it.
I've got it on my homebrew Wii. I think I can still beat it, but I don't think I've done it in years.
Nice to know Ninja Gaiden is considered difficult. I remember it kicking my butt.
Why is Charly Burke hated? Because she replaced Alara?
Is Aaron Rodgers the child?
