When I use to work at NASA, there was a go places and do things that have never been done before, that’s what living is all about.

Amazing how they got them back.
Amazing that they shelved a program that got man to the moon yet it still hasn’t been done today. Just use the Apollo program and save billions.

If we had long term missions maybe the same 'ol same 'ol missions would have been better received.
