When you’ve watched this a dozen or times and have absorbed and understood it (and the implications), keep this in mind: the same politicians who have so thoroughly screwed up the American space program are the same politicians who would be in charge of the American health care system under Obamacare.

    I like that last question about Congress on other planets. There’s a sci-fi novel in that.

    During the Depression, British airplane companies built boats, ice boxes, car bodies, and furniture. When Parliament decided to fund protection from Hitler, the skills were still in place. Is there anything an aerospace company could built while we’re waiting for a sense of urgency? (Note to self: Expect to hear “no.”)

    Well, THAT was the most depressing thing that I have heard this week. But, it is only Monday.

    @Gar – nonsense. Apollo 17 was one great leap for unemployment.
