So you’ll be gone for roughly a week, and you’ve made this forum post, and made me waste my time by reading it through, and then making me type this comment?
Ever since the beginning of human history, we have looked up to the skies and wished to reach for the stars. The moon is an unmissable part of the night sky (unless when it is in the new moon lunar phase), and for centuries we have wanted to go there.
Only until the 1950s was the possibility of reaching the moon considered genuine when the Space Race kicked off. Starting with Sputnik 1 from the USSR and Explorer 1 from the USA, the age of pioneering space exploration began, and the moon was one of the early targets. The Soviet's Luna 3 in 1959 was able to capture the far side of the moon in photographs for the first time, starting a series of missions from the superpower to explore and collect information of the moon.
During this time, the USSR was also able to oust the USA in certain feats: the first man into space, the first EVA, the first soft lunar landing, and much more. In the midst of a Cold War seemingly about to turn hot, President John F. Kennedy of the United States of America launched an immensely dangerous and daring plan only shortly after the Americans began sending men into space: to land a man on the moon and bring him back safely before the end of the decade.
With over 400,000 people signing up for this immense program, the US mustered their way through the Mercury program and into the Gemini (a program intended to test what humans can do in space, such as rendezvous, docking, EVA, etc.) and Apollo (the lunar manned exploration program) missions. However, crises struck NASA, the US's space program, culminating in the Apollo 1 disaster in January 1967. The disaster almost ended the lunar program, but it continued on with the remaining foundations of political and monetary support. Going full speed ahead and learning that the Soviets had plans to also send men to the moon (that would ultimately fail), the first men to reach the moon on Apollo 8 in December 1968 made the dreams of reaching the moon that many science fiction works, including that of 2001: A Space Odyssey which had been released that very same year, were coming to fruition.
In July of 1969, three men were tasked by the Americans to serve as humanity's ambassadors to the lunar surface: Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, and Michael Collins. Launched on the most powerful and sophisticated rocket ever used in history, the Saturn V, Armstrong and Aldrin would end up reaching the lunar surface as Collins orbited the moon above.
Armstrong would then step down the ladder in front of millions of citizens worldwide via telvision to utter the most famous words in space exploration's history:
”That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind."

No... I mean ... Yes ... I mean ... It's complicated.
Technically, of course a hamburger is a sandwich, by looking at a dictionary definition. Or to be pedantic (and give prelude to the complication), those things called 'hamburger' include all those properties that are defined and given the label 'sandwich'.
But what something 'is' and what something is 'called' and what its 'name' is (as Lewis Carroll said) are not (not necessarily) the same.
But that's almost too technical itself. A peanut is not a nut. A cardinal is a bird but doesn't have to have bird in its name to be a bird. A penguin is a bird even though many definitions of bird include 'flying'. Birds are now known to be dinosaurs, but that is a recent discovery (just like how at one time whales were considered fish).
The thing about 'technically', we don't normally use words that way. Is a cucumber a vegetable or a fruit? It's certainly a vegetable, formally or informally. But is it a fruit? It's not put in the fruit section with the apples and oranges and watermelon (when technically it is closely related to watermelon). No, a cucumber is considered a vegetable because it is green and not sweet, a lot like lettuce and celery.
Back to hamburger. So technically, yes, a hamburger is a sandwich, a very particular kind of sandwich. It has a lot of things unlike most sandwiches (a hot, grilled layer; a bun rather than sliced bread).
But, informally, it just doesn't seem like a sandwich. A BLT or chicken salad sandwich or corned beef on rye (mustard, no mayo) or even a grilled cheese all look like a usual sandwich. But a hamburger does not. There are many things about a hamburger (how it is prepared, where you can buy one, cultural associations) that are just not like a canonical sandwich.
So technically, yes, a hamburger is a kind of sandwich.
@randomusername we cryogenically freeze him so that meanwhile we don’t have to deal with him possibly getting mad. Then, on judging day, he is unfrozen so that he can eat. Simple solution to a simple problem.
