Thought I'd post this for the hard core aviation, space tourism fans here at FR as worthwhile nuggets to ruminate over.

The main thing I'm ruminating over is how sad is the current state of America's aerospace and air defense programs. As a kid, my brother and I lived and breathed the heroic stories of our early aviation pioneers. Now look at us.
NASA's transport capabilities are in disarray. Vital programs like the F-22 and F-35 are being scaled back and cut to unserviceable minimums. And for what? To pay off union cronies and legions of urban-bred orcs so that they don't burn their own cities down.
Truly a pitiful state of affairs.

Armstrong doesn’t speak much publicly, but when he does, it’s usually very interesting.

How do you heckle Neil Armstrong?
"Hey Neil! Who was that 'one step' for?"
