And those images have what, exactly, to do with space flight?

I'll toss the question back at you: What in my post referred to anything but the man and his character?

I agree with both of you that it doesn't make sense to judge his professional dreams and accomplishments in the context of what I perceive to be a sleazy personal life.

I'm not telling you or anyone not to admire or even emulate him.

I'm the kind of guy who dumped his iphone because of the public pronouncements of the company CEO.

Similarly I don't care if Bill Clinton signed welfare reform; I still think he degraded the country, the Presidency and a young woman who, like her or not, was somebody's daughter.

I think there are plenty of examples of geniuses, entrepreneurs and statesmen who are decent and admirable. I happen to prefer them to the leering hedonists.

Precisely.

What does that have to do with space flight?
