NASA was billed as a "civilian" space program
Nice diversion.
Kept us looking in the other direction while they diddled with technology.
They don't need the space shuttle or the Russian MIR program to hook up to.
The DOD has it all in the bag somewhere else.
I could see evidence of "water" on Mars 20 years ago.
I saw the photos of a natural horizon in blue.
NASA's been playing us since Day One.
