Neil Armstrong Endorses Bush's Space Proposals

The likes of you criticizing John Glenn is almost beyond belief, even
here.

Glenn: One of the true pioneers of space travel and a shaper of our
country and world as we know it. A rare and true modern day hero. He
put is life on the line in service for this country many many times.


He was not the first to go into space, he was only the first American to do so.
Neil Armstrong on the other hand was the first human being to walk on the Moon,
so his celebrity outshines that of John Glenn.
Perhaps John Glenn is jealous of this, so in his petty revenge, he advocates
that no one goes any higher than he did in low Earth Orbit. John Glenn seems to
think that doing 6 years of research on board a completed space station is not
enough, and that we should spend longer, than we did on Skylab.
John Glenn is a big supporter of "John Glenn" studies in orbit, he gets with
the democratic program of not venturing to boldly into space.
What about Sedna by the way? they say it's minimum distance from the Sun is 3
times the distance of Pluto, and that a probe would take 40 years to get there
with current technology, but what about advanced nuclear propulsion that we
might develop for a manned Mars program?

That's what Glenn WANTS you to believe.

He was? What's Shepard say about that?
