Obama's legacy.
Thank heaven he has spoken out. We were the best space faring nation now we are now the worst!
Irwin is gone.
Shephard is gone.
Conrad is gone.
9 remain
The youngest is Duke who was born in 1935, and he’s 75.
Soon we won’t have anyone who remembers what it was like to walk on the moon.
The youngest boomers in 1960 are now older than Shephard was when he flew. Extend it another 5 years and the youngest boomer will soon be older than Shephard.
What have the boomers been doing for the last 40 years? It will be 40 years ago that someone once set foot on the moon.
I think it’s telling that the generation that had no presidents, put 12 men on the moon, and the generation that has spent the last 20 years in power has put nobody on the moon.
It’s not just Obama. We’ve been taking steps backwards and backwards. Is it a coincidence that in 1972, abortion was legalized, and the last moon landing took place?
