And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Actually it was GWB who started the shutdown of the shuttle program. One of the stupidest things he did. I wish they had just launched them one last time and let them be docked at the space station. Not just a great place to store them but instant additional room for the ISS. And then if anybody ever decided they wanted to use them again, just send up a pilot and bring it back down.
Now, they're just gone to museums. Better than being scrapped but not the best use IMO.
Wow, remember before the Obamanation when we had a manned space program?
ReplyDeleteYeah, with astronauts and everything!
DeleteNASA was just wasting their time back then- but now, they're doing something extremely useful: muslim outreach!
ReplyDeleteSo much better than exploring the universe, right? Right? Hello?
