Thanks for the update. Then it's LBJ we should blame for shutting down
Saturn. You may now print out a pic of LBJ at leisure and throw
however many darts at the man as you see fit.

Nixon bears about as much responsibility for the end of Apollo/Saturn as
Obama does for the end of shuttle. In both cases it was not a decision
to cancel the program; it was a choice not to reverse a predecessor's
decision. Which still means that both men "bought into" the decisions,
in my opinion.

"If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice" - Neil Peart

I'll go along with that: they still should've at least flown the last three
Apollos and Skylab-B.

That would have been a good trick with only two Saturn Vs leftover. ;-)
