OK, you guys like Star Trek.
Our moon program came during the greatest era of prosperity in the greatest nation on earth with people trained in sciences with work ethics.
Today, money spent on NASA is spent on political clap-trap. Our nation is nowhere near what we were during the height of national strength and resolve. Forty years of national decay and staggering debt have changed the fundamental meaning of what being American means for, what may prove, a majority of our fellow citizens.
Don’t think so? Tell me all about your trip to Mars in four more years.
BTW, if America does go under . . . the lights go out everywhere.
