Funny isn't it. We used to reach for the stars, now we are grasping at straws. Sad really.

Indeed it is. Where once we were a nation of pioneers and trailblazers, now we are a nation of settlers, who settle for anything.

Its a hoax. There is no such thing as heart surgery.

Say it to Buzz Aldrin's face...

If this happened 5 yrs from now, he’d never get that course of treatment unless he went to a boutique offshore medical facility.

No way the Baraqqicare Death Panels are going to allow that for anybody over 75.

He has a wonderful take on exercise. Asked after he left NASA why he didn’t jog or do some other kind of daily exercise, Armstrong replied: “I believe you have a certain number of heartbeats allocated to you for your life and I see no reason to use them up any faster than necessary.”

Armstrong’s life stands as a sharp rebuke to the loathsome Obama’s killing of our manned space program so he can divert the money to his welfare lump voters. Armstrong won everything through very hard work. Obama is a loser who has been given everything. Space travel is strictly a pay me now or pay me later proposition. We WILL exhaust the Earth’s resources some day and will have to move out into the solar system for more. Every dollar the loathsome Obama stole from the space program will take 20 to recoup in lost time and technology. The future will not treat The One kindly.

I remember a scene from the movie ‘The Faculty’

Coach Willis: You’re not much into sports.
Casey: I don’t think that a person should run unless he’s being chased.
