To me, the big story is how little press attention Wednesday's flight has gathered, considering we haven't had manned space flights in this country for almost 10 years.
We can't have the Proles thinking of great dreams. The press can't have us remembering the lost dreams of the space age. Socialized Welfare has become more important than exploration. O'Bastard was a symptom, not the disease, when he let the space program whither into just another Moslem outreach project.
