23 December, 2004

Mr. Sharkey reminded me.

On December 19th, 1972, Man last walked on the Moon.

A friend in the RGV sent this to me as well, as a reminder that the bastards who hate freedom and liberty in the swamp, and many other places, just passed this legislation:

Private Spaceflight Don?t let over-regulation stifle progress
December 21,2004

"In a reasonably sane world, there would have been no perceived need for HR 5382, the Commercial Space Launch Amendments Act of 2004, which passed the Senate during the final minutes of the recent lame-duck session and awaits President Bush?s signature. Given the world we live in, however, it offers a fairly sensible approach to the private space race that is emerging in the wake of the successful suborbital flight of SpaceShipOne, honchoed by legendary aircraft designer Burt Rutan and his team over the Mojave Desert this year."

What filfth have we allowed to ascend to be the "Men Who Hold High Places"...
