I am deeply concerned at the lack of attention to male rights in the matter of space exploration. Extensive and accepted use is made of unmanned spacecraft, but does anyone spare a thought for the unmanned astronauts who are sent up to crew the things? I mean, damn it all!

I see your mistake. NASA is in Florida, South East USA. Ethics is in South East England.
I have neither the time nor the crayons to explain why you are wrong.

In the spirit of equality shouldn't we have unwomanned craft too?

Also, if places belong to those who first explore them .... why doesn't space belong to the fruit flies?

Time Flies. They're trying to get the TARDIS working first.

Nope, fruit flies first. The dogs were johnny-come-latelys.

They could have been but they were tardy and the fruit flies made the grade first.
