We were a different country back then. This tragedy was considered a minor setback, and the race to the moon continued.
Today, we don’t even have similar programs. NASA has been “retasked” as they say.
I’d like to believe Americans still have a pair. But the evidence is mighty thin...
Wow, can you imagine how America, the media, the culture, would react if this happened today? The circus, the pundits, the “crisis,” the politicians, the self-doubt, the whole stultifying grinding-to-a-halt inaction?
We’re not the same nation we were. We as a people and a culture are not the same hearty, brave breed anymore.
NASA’s mission now is to make MUSLIMS feel good about themselves, per orders from Obama......this is NOT a SATIRE!!
