Yep. Those were different times. I was there. Nowadays, NASA is nothing more than a propaganda arm of the “global warming” scam to steal untold trillions of dollars, without end, from taxpaying, traditional American families. It’s time for private business to step up and take the next steps. Get the stinking government out of the space business, except for military programs, and let visionary billionaires take over the exploration of space. Government turns whatever it touches to turd.
As I said, this mission would NEVER have happened if private business ran the space program.
Agreed. Those were the good old days.
