I want NASA of the 60s, not these asshats that managed to infest one of the most amazing things we have done as humans. To paraphrase Gene Krantz, we lost the human factor. All that technology we have available to us and we can't do shit with it, as opposed to what those guys did with barely anything.

Yeah, Apollo was huge f'ing money and the lost support bad after the first moon landing. People weren't even paying attention to Apollo 13 until the explosion. That's just ludacris to think about that people got that uninterested in going to the moon that fast. I didn't agree with everything JFK did, but he really pushed us as far as stretching our goals as humans and Americans in the technological sense. We need another leader with that frame of mind to get NASA off their ass. I doubt anything like that will happen til we get some kind of recovery going though.

Hell, getting rid of him was the best thing that ever happened to us.
.... until we decided to send you Celine Dion too.

You stole a few of our hot women. We've got millions more. It was either have a yard sale, or let you have them.

Funny thing about not having to dump $250.00 a month on health insurance; you can actually afford a dentist. You must be thinking of the English but, to them, it's a cultural thing

After my visit to the Hamilton Warplane Heritage Museum, today, I'm convinced that 1950s pilots were jockeys. If I'm not comfortable in the cockpit of a Silver Star (I think that's what it was) at 5'9", then I doubt that anyone could be.
