Well, let me add this, regarding the space program.
My brother was a radar/sonar/optics engineer in the Navy who switched into the budding space program before we even had astronauts.
He was on Grand Turk when John Glen was brought there following his historic trip around the world. He worked for the space program all over the planet.
I lived in Cocoa Beach during the Mercury 7 days - when Cocoa Beach was a sleepy little 2 highway place with one hotel. I met most of The Mercury 7.
One of my sons has worked for almost 30 years on the Shuttle program.
In other words, I talk with people who are/have been there for many years - I think they know what's going on as well as anyone else - indeed, some things that I haven't seen in the papers.
I don't get all my thoughts on our space program from the papers - but I don't find much in the paper accounts I listed that aren't factual.
Balls in your court.
Balls in your court.
I don't know what to do with "the ball." What is your point?
