Some have asked why I am posting photos from the US space program today. Two reasons: First, the US successes in space prove that we can do great, great things. Sometimes it is good to be reminded of that. Second, some of the most amazing US space accomplishments occurred ....
...during times of great internatl division. But we all came together (or, most of us did) in support of our astronauts and their daring achievements. We need to find a common rallying cry now. I, for one, propose science. Our regular readers know about the ongoing space
programs related to Venu/Mars & the intention to build a permanent manned station on the Moon. These are wonderful things that should make all Americans proud. MSM should cover this news. We do, and our reader comments tell us it is welcomed.
