On Thu, 02 Dec 2004 16:17:02 -0500, in a place far, far away,
"Richard.Glueck" made the phosphor on my monitor
glow in such a way as to indicate that:

Look Rand McNally, I regret my misspelling of empirical, but other than that, you
haven't put forth any kind of sensible argument to defend your insults. SInce I won't
invest further time in a ****ing contest with you, I'll be content to let the time pass
and see where our National Embarassment's space program goes. I'll use history as a
guide. Use your faith in "Dubya" as yours!
One more bit of advice; if you want to argue, be sure you have a point to get across.

My last word to you on your tantrum.

*My* tantrum?

Do you know what "man-rated" means?



Yes I do.

What part of "Yes I do" did you not understand, Rand? From context
that's Richard Glueck's answer to your question.

....Ok, so how the **** do you know if he's right or wrong, then?

No, don't bother answering that one, Rand. We *know* you don't know...

Talk about putting the "dip" in "dip****", that's Rand for you....

Worse still, I can not possibly see how a new vehicle is going to be
designed, built, tested repeatedly until it's man-rated, put aboard
an as yet unknown heavy-lift booster, and sent repeatedly to the
moon, on $15 billion. It
can not
happen. I am amazed that people think it can. The dollar is worth
less today than in the 60's and it couldn't be done then...

I think what happened was that President Chimp asked how much it cost
us to go to Luna, and then called for that much to be spent, as the
dumbass didn't stop to realize those were _1960s_ dollars, not this
goddamn' Monopoly money we're saddled with _now_.

I think neither of you has any idea what the real numbers are.

Come now. Of the lunar landers, Ranger, Surveyor and Apollo, only Apollo,
with the LEM, was man-rated.

I like the gun on top of the books.... I take it the idea is that you
must free yourself from government oppression- or they will shoot you. A
whole new take on "Liberty or Death"... :-D

They're fun there. It's like reading something from a parallel universe.

I will agree with your dislike for his flight, though. The only
spaceflight-related thing it proved was that a man of his age could do
well in orbit.

Which further proved that Musgrave got hosed.
