I get ribbed at by my co-workers mostly for the nasa moon landing conspiracy. they are so blinded by their shortsightedness that they refuse to apply logic and reason and look at the "why nots" instead of the "not possible".
then there are those who fail to see the point in exploring our universe, but then they're the same bunch who believe that a passenger airliner can "hover" in mid air waiting for a runway to be free, and not that its because youre in a car travelling toward the plane and its classic relative motion.
and of course the classic astrology and astronomy assumption, then the "aliens are looking right back at you".
but if we have reforms in school content or things like NASA where they take a massive rocket all around the country to schools so kids get "excited" by science and space, we'd have a lot more general awareness and maybe even help reduce light pollution.
I love how they have programs in schools to talk to the astronauts in the ISS as it flies overhead using radios.
the behind the scenes sections of nasa's spaceflight site is very inspirational with stories of how these people were awe struck by the stars and space at night when they were kids.
