Whenever I've been in Fargo I've thought "I hate my life right now"The end of an era. I never did understand why we spent so much money getting there just to beat the Russians but then just abandoned it. I understand the International Space Station and all but you would have thought us building at least a small shack on the moon would have been in order. I have a clear memory of driving a UPS Ford Econoline over to Fargo one night and looking up at the moon and thinking "Gee--there are guys standing up there right now".

The Space Race was the political cover for the real race and that was the race for intercontinental missiles during the Cold War.The end of an era. I never did understand why we spent so much money getting there just to beat the Russians but then just abandoned it.
We're going back though, this time to pillage.The Space Race was the political cover for the real race and that was the race for intercontinental missiles during the Cold War.
The blooming of a recent cynicist?I recall politicians touting "clean coal" for a year or two, then finally admitting, OK, there's really no such thing as clean coal.
I live within a days drive of the Hanford reactor, which has had many leaks in the storage drums there for years. And the plant was shut down long ago. I know nothing about the helium 3 version of nuclear power. Is it actually clean? I wonder. I do know that I don't trust a word from power industry lobbyists in governmental positions or their paid congressmen anymore.
