Blogging the YouTube debate

Space Exploration

Ms. Lograsso,

It's one thing to tuck your head in the hole that you've dug, but it's another to simply dismiss (as Rep. Tancredo did) the ability of technology to improve the economics of a nation. Without the space program, the technological advancement of our nation would not have birthed Intel, Microsoft, or Apple. IBM would not have created the revolution that the entire world embraced.

For the percentage of expenditure for an event that the entire American population stopped what they were doing to watch in 1969, I have to say, let's do it again. Forward-looking, and fiscally responsible. MSU journalism students are impressive. Cheers, Mako out.

Threading in forums

We are working on adding threading to the forums. Clicking on the headline of a post will now get you related posts in a few different ways.

- If the comment was submitted in response to a cybersurvey, clicking on the headline will take you to the cybersurvey and its related comments.

- If you click on the headline of a forum post that was simply posted in the forum, you will get all posts with that same headline.
