On Thu, 27 Jan 2005 18:21:03 +0000 (UTC), in a place far, far away,
(Eric Chomko) made the phosphor on my
monitor glow in such a way as to indicate that:

: It's ultimately a matter of political will. If enough folks
: really wanted a
: manned mission to Mars, the money would have been found.

: It's a matter of leadership.

: Kennedy had it, Bush doesn't.

: One of these presidents set the exploration of outer space as the official
: mission of NASA and proposed a far-reaching program accordingly. The
: other saw outer space only as a political battlefield in a global war.
: Can you guess which one is which?

Both gave us speeches. One led to actually landing on the moon. The other
has simply given speehes.


We landed on the moon in June, 1962? Who knew?
