I believe that this piece raises a lot of the right questions and in the end, is on the right track.....

“A rocket went to the moon. And some misogynistic old white males with buzz cuts did something”

Well. I’m a girl and I’m going to see the Armstrong biopic tomorrow

Got a yearbook (my late father’s USNA- Lucky Bag) with Jim Lovell’s senior phot in it b/c my father was a year behind him

They were flying jets off aircraft carriers ONTO carriers. They were getting killed. It was pioneering days of flight

Maybe they were toxically misogynist. I do t know, I was the one my father called at 0 dark thirty the day the first shuttle took off.

“Dad why are you calling me so early I have a chemistry test this morning”

“You’re not up watching the shuttle launch?”

“Of course I am”

He was corporate VP of a f 500 by then

He called his 19 year old daughter to share the shuttle launch

Misogynist?

Sigh. Maybe sometimes

What is the culture 50 years from now going to say about the hatred it takes to kill unborn babies, to make money off it and to gain power drom it?

54 million is beating out even joe Stalin for numbers

Cool hypothesis and possibly might explain why there has been some recent underground buzz on his alleged survival...

There was a VW ad campaign about it floating for some period of time, hyping its construction technique.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1qB0lb401ZU

However, that particular “ad” was from MAD Magazine (or similar), iirc.

VW should have been shouting “Two pennies a nautical mile!”

“Why those Kennedy fixers pulled every trick in the book to keep their boy off the front pages.”

Amazin

It was a coincidence of course. But it does explain why people are so unaware of how bad this guy was

>>>Democrats do not have to comply with the law.<<<

Especially if they are named Kennedy or Clinton.

I remember my brain gave me a warning signal the first time I seen where the gas tank was in one of them. Should have had some protective reinforcement around the tank, imo.

A long time ago I seen a documentary on it and the hotel clerk said Kennedy walked in cool, collected, and dry that night. Next morning some people came to talk to Kennedy and he said that that he just looked terribly shaken by what he had been told. Just saying....

Kennedy lied about a lot of things.

But why would he say he was driving the car if he was not?

If Kennedy was not in the car he would be able to escape all accusations.

Mohammed Ali wrote a letter to Mary Jo’s father stating what to do—having recently had contentions with how his boxing title was removed for draft evasion.

https://tinyurl.com/y27q9se3

If .indeed, that is Rose Kennedy’s car, there is the specter of Hillary Clinton appearing recently in Hot Springs where Rose use to vacation and Bubba’s uncle was on the draft board.

And then there was the strange co-incidence of Mohammed Ali, Rosa Parks, Coretta Scott King, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, Walter Cronkite, Donald Trump and many others being present at the 1986 Ellis Island Award ceremony near the Statue of Liberty.

Nice family story, Stanne. My Dad built spacecraft at GE for years. His team built the power plant for the Voyager spacecraft that have left the solar system and are still sending data back to earth. He took the family to the Cape to watch the Voyager launch, but I had a work conflict and couldn’t go. I really regret to this day not re-arranging work so I could go.

The capstone of his career was a super-secret project that he could not breathe a word about other than “Son, you can’t believe how important this is to our national defense.” I still have no idea what it was.

PS. Don’t get your hopes up for the Armstrong biopic.

Nice

No i don’t have hopes for any films now. I go looking for particular themes now. Like watching a weather radar map ignoring the forecasters

Last good film was a few years ago. Mark Wahlberg did a good job with the marathon bombing. Good cast even

That’s the last good movie out and I see every movie watchable

The 2018 WW I documentary “They Shall Not Grow Old” was outstanding.

Mary Jo gave her life for America. Other wise fat Teddy would have eventually become Potus.
