We might have, if we'd also had that Hilton station in orbit, with the Pan Am shuttle to take us there. It's 10 years after 2001.
I want my dammed ride to the station!
I've been waiting for it since 1968. How the hell am I supposed to get my ashes spread into orbit, which was my backup plan if the commercial shuttle wasn't ready before I got too old to fly on it.
“I want my dammed ride to the station!”
You and me both. Things have really gone to hell since 1968.
Pan Am is kaput. There’s no space station. The magnificent Saturn V rocket is gone. The boring “ space truck”, the Space Shuttle, replaced Moon shots.
I would have thought we’d have space stations and a Moon colony started by now. There are no great adventures nor men of vision. No wonder Obama got elected.
