Damn these people just spent years on something thats never been done and was not even guaranteed and you're gonna get upset that they celebrate for 20min when they succeed? Get some perspective. | ||

Seems like an amazing occasion, but post after post are people hating on the scientists for being proud of themselves and their organization/country. that's just typical teamliquid general forum stuff. there is always that one person who is super serious about their opinion and will go to any length to seem smarter than everyone else. | ||

You may mean this as a joke, but your post cannot turn into anything good, especially that you are not an American. Edit it please for the sake of information accuracy. | ||
