Some good art there, once I unravelled i.e. separated the above
urls. It gives me to think.

And what I think is, what a bummer from Washington. While we
killed the Apollo program and then did that shortrange diversion
to nowhere (killing some more good stuff along the way and
burning up a couple of Shuttles with people in them) the
Russians persisted, they are in their second thousand launches,
and thinking about the future. Even while the whole country
went CRASH around them. I guess that down in Washington, their
pork wars are more important than *anything* even while the
American economy goes bust and the dollar's value ...dwindles.
Grump!
