Have you ever wondered why some telescopes are launched into space while others are built on remote mountain tops? What is actually the best for astronomy? Here we provide a ringside view of the fight for the elusive photons from deep space - is it a battle of the telescope giants?

Stupid votbotting christians

[niiidar]

WTF

Why would anyone votebot THIS?! How can they be offended of a video about telescopes?!

[Forlo12345]

Honestly, all they're doing is showing off how stupid they are by votebotting a video about, of all things, telescopes. Think of it as a small victory for science (or at least that's the way I see it).

[drche420]

Don't you get it, theists hate/votebot whatever they don't understand.

If they don't understand evolution, why would they understand astronomy? lol

[IsraeliAdamRusso]

i don't get it.. who would votebot this? and why would people votebot this video?

[RattleheadAnthony]

5/5 =] Screw you, votebotters! =/

[WeakAtheist]

damn vote bots

[DarthHuru]

why would you votebot video about telescopes ? oO

[fartlightbulb]

TheCozmiktruth pay the slimebucket a visit and return the favor. According to this douche if you dont view it his way you will burn for eternity.  He continually terrorizes people who dont see it his way. Which is 99.9999999999% of humanity

[fartlightbulb]

Look here!! The votebotter is a fundamentalist butt wipe name TheCozmiktruth all this science is evil to this nutjob!

[ahr8p]

This votebotting is yet another proof for the death struggle of religions. Religion is lashing about like a perishing animal in agonal state.

[blues260]

it is really hard to understand why "someone" would actually votebot a channel or a video who promotes nothing but science and doesn't say a word about religion.

this is ridiculous..
