Comments on: Breaking: Alan Stern resigns from NASA http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/badastronomy/2008/03/26/breaking-alan-stern-resigns-from-nasa/ I am an astronomer, writer, and skeptic. I likes reality the way it is, and I aims to keep it that way. My real name is Phil Plait, and I run the Bad Astronomy blog.

Anyone who disagrees with you is an "amateur" or an "ignorant"? Tell us, what are your credentials that make you such an expert and so knowledgeable? You sound like a garden-variety conspiracy theorist to me. Average American, thanks for posting Stern's official letter. Thanks to observer to presenting the counter-argument without personal abuse, which IRA seems unable to do. IRA, maybe it's not the horse people have a problem with... maybe it's the jockey. If you can avoid being abusive, people might have an easier time listening to you. IRA, are you still rearing up on your hind legs and name-calling?

Average American, thanks for posting Stern’s official letter.

IRA, maybe it’s not the horse people have a problem with… maybe it’s the jockey. If you can avoid being abusive, people might have an easier time listening to you.

Stern was NOT the hero you amateurs made him out to be. I am glad he screwed up and got sent back to the minor leagues, and anyone who really cares about planetary exploration should be too. Go play with your Pluto probe, Stern, and stay out of politics. Thank you, observer, for saying what I was saying all along, only I
