...have, in fact, become quite "evangelical" about space, says Londoner Trevor Beattie, a self-described "space nut" who has a scrapbook from his youth of the Armstrong's moon walk and the Apollo 13. "You'll get a sense of wonderment from everybody here," says the 47-year-old ad man. "You've got a bunch of believers who are going to make this happen. It's a lifelong dream for people." David Horowitz, a 55-year-old investment manager from Irvine, California, couldn't agree more. "It's changed me. We're doing things we should have been doing...

Faced with a cacophonous gay uproar, Snickers relented, responding to its critics with the bland “humor is highly subjective” and acknowledging that “some people may have found the ad offensive.” Even in its apparent submission, Snickers retained its credibility. Humor is subjective and, at times, meant to rattle its audience out of complacency; the biting wits of Stephen Colbert and Sarah Silverman are perfect examples.
