Wernher von Braun said in the late fifties that a rocket to the moon would have to be the size of the Empire State Building to contain sufficient fuel for the trip. His scientific opinion apparently changed with the script when the Apollo Mission was abruptly declared in the late sixties.
You would have us believe that we learned all we needed to know about outer space travel by watching astronauts drive dune buggies and hit golf balls on the moon.
We more likely watched astronauts drive dune buggies and hit golf balls somewhere in the desert and the same media that lied to us about JFK, 9/11, Saddam Hussein's WMDs and the 2020 Election told us we were watching footage taken on the moon.
So the government was super-competent when it came to flying 238,000 miles out into space, landing humans on the moon, then flying back in 1972. But for the next fifty years, all it can do is taxi people up to a manned satellite that orbits three hundred miles above us? Does NASA have less access to modern technology than Sony or Honda?
They firmly believe that the will of God gives them the authority to mess with the will of the people.
For all their blather about equality of the genders, Democrats sure are wedded to the notion that a woman's best qualification to be President is to be married to a male former President.
Mitt Romney looks more like the Muppet, Guy Smiley.
Kerry looks more like a cross between Frankenstein and The Mummy.
You could simply fly around it in low earth orbit as many manned US spacecraft have done since the Mercury Project.
The earth is round. Flat Earth is a fraud and a tool used to discredit those who question the Apollo mission.
In 1970 your TV was full of vacuum tubes and you fiddled with an antenna to make the fuzzy images broadcast over the air come in better.
Your phone was plugged into the wall and it had a rotary dial on it. All you could do with a phone was talk or listen.
Your car likely had bench seats and no seat belts. You rolled down the window with a crank and you turned on the high beams with a kick button at your left foot.
A portable calculator cost as much as a color TV and a powerful computer filled a large room.
The only area of technology that failed to progress from then to now is space travel. We could fly to the moon and back for five years before the space program curiously reverted back to where it was headed with the Gemini mission - nothing but endless trips around the planet in low earth orbit for the last fifty years.
So, from 1968 to 1972, men could fly 238,000 miles out into space and back on one tank of fuel. But from 1973 onward, no human being has flown even five hundred miles off the surface of the earth.
1968-1972 all newspapers were in black and white as were half the TV sets in the USA. They showed us grainy training videos and passed them off as the real thing. We never went to the moon.
The future dystopia portrayed in A Clockwork Orange is set in a Britain with no monarch.
Looks like the PBS logo with a pedo swirl added.
Arnold was installed to protect Enron. They dangled the prospect of the Presidency over him but they failed to deliver. As a foreign-born celebrity-turned-politician it must have irked the shit out of him to see foreign-born Obama win the White House followed by celebrity-turned-politician President Trump.
King Charles II gave us some charming spaniels.
A star is someone whose name appears before the title of the film or show. A person who plays supporting roles is just an actor.
I am guessing Hillary could not run in 2020 due to President Trump's executive orders having a crippling effect on the Clinton Foundation.
Is she trying to argue that getting 60% of the vote isn't enough to win an election?
Or perhaps she wants us to recall that President Trump won 60% of the vote in 2020 and that still wasn't enough to stop the Deep State from stealing the election.
Will the stars be as invisible in the new pics as they were in the Apollo pics allegedly taken on the moon?
Democrats assert matter-of-factly that the USA is too sexist to elect a woman POTUS even as they insist on nominating female candidates who, according to their own beliefs, are categorically unable to get elected.
Don't worry. You won't always be a conspicuous fuck-up on the internet. Only today.
Biden looks at Michelle and wonders why they're trading him out for Corn Pop.
Good thing she didn't wish herself Happy Birthday to this future President.
