So much needless hype building up to it.

I remember when I heard about it a few days ago, my thought was "oh, lucky for spain and thought nothing more.

Then the next thing I'm hearing is "96% in UK, ohmygosh" and BBC gushing over it like it was going to be the next biggest thing.

I saw the sky darken slightly. Cool. 2 hours well spent.

I'll be sure to forward your complaints to the Moon, so it can do better in the future.

The worst part for me was people clapping. Like it's a show put on just for them. Yay, the Moon still exists! Go Moon!

Ah yes, because expressing joy at a rare natural phenomenon is a sure sign of the downfall of humanity.

Your cynicism is worse than their clapping. Let people enjoy things.

I don't think he was being cynical; more like taking the mick out of the precious post.

Yep, clap away like idiots then set fire to the nearby forest with a portable BBQ.
