Not weird, LBJ and the democrats crippled us funding the Great Society.
Supporting generations of negro welfare left no money for anything else.
That was the purpose, not the consequence. People looking down can’t look up.
Nixon, in his strange narrow way, despised the space program as a ‘democrat’ thing and just cancelled the last three missions to ‘save’ a few million dollars in budget numbers game playing. Nixon hated private firearms ownership and never even bothered to look at the staffing papers on the negatives of the EPA mandate. He just wanted a evening news headline just like he used the POW issue as a domestic political football. And yes the norks did keep some (now dead) prisoners as holdbacks to guarantee the big ‘loan’ RN promised them for ‘making peace’ would be delivered on. It wasn’t (Tricky never meant to, and the POWs the norks had were killed). This is still the biggest Beltwayland scandal that remains hidden. Some day when all of the principles are long dead some nork will write a blockbuster revelation about what great grandpa was involved in with Tricky and Kissinger.
People who bitch about the cost of Apollo forget that "expensive" is relative. Apollo was cheap compared to the Welfare State.
We still have the Welfare State, which increases in cost every year.
Apollo is a distant memory.
Lol...(insert pic of Sam kenison here).. “Good answer!! I like the way you think!!
