Here’s another interesting clip from the same site. And something that could not be developed by socialists of any stripe:

When I was a kid, like most kids, I wanted to be an astronaught. But I never outgrew it. I got into engineering in college in hopes of someday getting into the Space Program. I fell in love and got married and those dreams became just wishes and regrets of things never done. But I always wondered how it would have been. A few years ago we went on a family trip to Disneyworld and hit all the parks. Disneyworld, Epoct Center, all of them.

We got on a ride called Mars Mission or something similar, hosted by an actor I very much respect, Gary Sinse. More than a ride, it was a simulator. The most thrilling 5 minutes of my life (the most thrilling 4 minutes of my life were on my wedding night, much to my bride's disappointment), were that ride.

I remember getting off of that ride with tears in my eyes after having a taste of what could have been. I can only imagine what going up on a flight like this would be like.
