Welcome to the Ars Mailbag, where we open a tiny porthole into the insanity that is life aboard the Ars Orbiting HQ. We love our readers and pride ourselves on one of the smartest audiences and best comment sections on the Web.

FACT: Only Trump will ensure America returns to the Moon, quickly. I have personal, direct knowledge of this fact. Interview him and ask him yourself, dig a little deeper!

Trump is going to win in a landslide! Not speculation, FACT!
