Itโ€™s a shame the space shuttle program ended before they figured out how to make the launch exhaust in rainbow colors.

Yeah ... in 1972 ... when America decided that allowing democRATs to buy votes from the indolent using taxpayer money was more important than space exploration.


Was earlier with the cancellation of Project Orion in 1964. The year the dream of manned space exploration died, killed by political infighting.

Project Orion

You can have Project Orion.

Or you can have Earth orbiting satellites.

I also know what Project Pluto was.

For sure, they thought big back then. They didn’t fully understand the consequences, though.
