Some good art there, once I unravelled i.e. separated the above

Funny, the url's were on separate lines when I wrote it; from now one
I'll insert a blank line between each url.



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.

And with their current level of funding, thinking about the future is
all they can afford to do.
They can't even get a improved R-7 launch vehicle with a cryogenic upper
stage built, much less a manned Moon mission going.
