Well, kind of…

If I could phone home, I would, and ask Mom and Dad if they would send me cab fare back to Andromeda. Things is gettin’ kinda dicey here on Planet Earth and they won’t let us spend money to play among the stars anymore. Once the future of spaceflight looked so bright. The dreamers lost control and the bureaucrats took over.

I honestly believe that this is one of the problems with our economy. We used to make discoveries and create new products because of our space program. Now, that is dead and the well has dried up. The same thing has happened all over. Creativity has dried up, other than the new iPhone, iPad and such.

Didn’t mean to say all this but I’m kind of sad this morning so you got my stream of consciousness.
