Re: "I disliked the Captain because I was an E-5 and had to salute his sorry ass and his claim to his commission was a degree in Physical Education. I was Mr Math and Physics and I had to salute a Gym teacher!"

Considering your anti-NASA remarks, I guess you have dropped the 'Mr Math and Physics' nome de plume...

BTW you saluted him because he was a superior officer. Guess you missed that in basic...

Tell that to the many physicists and astronomers who also scoff at the manned space program and point out how much more could be done with unmanned. On the order of 30 to 100 times more. Our own professor Van Allen of the U of I to name one.
