What balls. One of the engineers connected to Apollo (I can't recall which one) commented when looking back on the program that "there was no mercy in those days." It was hard, terrifying and dangerous and they went and did it anyway, because they could. And that is what America used to stand for.

And that is what America used to stand for. Funny isn't it. We used to reach for the stars, now we are grasping at straws. Sad really.
