I haven't been keeping up on the news, so when is the next American
going into space?

I've said this before, but I feel a need to add "if all goes well".

From the comedy album "The First Family," starring Vaughan Meader as
John F. Kennedy, released in 1962:

Excerpt from the album cut, "The Press Conference."

Reporter: "Mr. President?"

JFK: "Yes?"

Reporter: "When will America put a man on the Moon?"

JFK: "Whenever Senator Goldwater wants to go..."

*Dirksen*, and that wasn't the right quote (hilarious album, though)

Nope -- I have the album on CD (pulled it down on Napster several years
ago), just listened to it again yesterday. The quote above is exact.

Dirksen appears in another album cut, in which he and Dean Rusk are
trying to advise JFK on a budget expenditure. (LBJ tries to toss in his
two cents, saying "I'd like to say something, if I might," and JFK
responds "Must you, Lyndon?") At the very end of the cut, JFK says,
"Well, Ev, you drive a hahd bahgain, but here's what I'll do --I'll sell
you Boardwalk and Park Place with two hotels on it..."

More apropos to these newshroups, however, was a cut entitled
"Astronauts." It has Jim Webb overseeing a briefing of Gordo Cooper,
with all of the other astronauts giving "Coop" the benefit of their
experience. Including Carpenter telling him once he hits the water, he
should just settle in, relax, and wait for someone to pick him up.
Cooper admits to being scared, but says "you guys all went through it,
so I guess I can." At which point, Webb says, "All right! Now, go down
to the dock and put on your water skis, Jackie's waiting!"
