Imagine instead that JFK offered an X-prize instead of creating another government bureaucracy that needlessly got people killed.

The future of space is private.

I think the lover was deployed this morning.

I found this funny coming from Communist atheists:

Named for traditional Chinese mythology

There weren’t any Maoist heroes? My China’s changed.

Loral in particular. As they were about to be indicted for it, Clinton personally signed an authorization.

I see that kitty got caught! There is a old story story about where kitties go when you can't find them - to the moon.

And if certain other programs had not also been killed from lack of political will, we would have had interstellar ships either arrived or arriving at other solar systems.

Then I am not worth salt.
I love what NASA was, I love the idea/actual space travel, the inventions that came out of the space program, the scientific advances.


Me too, but I’ve lost count of how often NASA, no matter how successful it’s been, has been trashed by people in here.
