It's never happened."--Frank J. “Never has there been a more exciting time to be alive, a time of rousing wonder and heroic achievement. As they said in the film Back to the Future, ‘Where we’re going, we don’t need roads.’”--Ronald Reagan "Giant nozzles, bolts and beams They called her Atlas by all means Blood, sweat and tears were her payload She was a stairway to heaven Old Apollo 11 The rocket ship their Grandpa drove Yeah on the rocket that Grandpa rode Sounds like braggin' but it's true I'm not tryin' to big-time you Rising up from that lagoon, we beat those Commies to the moon Yeah on the rocket their Grandpa rode Yeah on the rocket their Grandpa drove--"Jimmy Buffett |
The Lost Frontier: "Pity the nation whose greatness becomes "historic". ...
Great civilizations can survive a lot of things, but not impoverishment of spirit. That's one reason I didn't join in the media sniggers at Donald Trump's new Space Force - because I'd like it to be true. ... Those "Space Age" astronauts were men of boundless courage and determination: they strapped themselves in and stared not just death in the face but death in hideous and unknown ways. Yet they were also ordinary men, who were called upon to do extraordinary things and rose to the challenge. These days we are unmanned in more than merely the sense of that Luna 2 expedition. Glenn and Armstrong are gone, and their surviving comrades are old and stooped and wizened, and yet the only giants we have. Space may still be the final frontier, but today, when we talk about boldly going where no man has gone before, we mean the ladies' bathroom. Progress."
