I've heard a lot of people claiming that it's offensive but I'm just not
seeing it.  How is it offensive?  All of the Christians I personally
know who I've pointed it out to thought it was either funny or annoying,
but not offensive.

For what it's worth, I guess you could consider this Wikipedian
space-training, because in space, there is no up, and you are liable to
routinely see things from all angles.

That's me, always thinking ahead.  Yup.
