Funny that this is considered 'historic' simply because our country has walked backwards for so long. Wasn't the first moon landing in 1969? Wasn't the first mannned space mission WAY before that? WTF is so historic or groundbreaking here? Flatscreens??? |

I mean I think the argument that NASA was *always* a slush-fund for the aerospace industry is a little too strong and totalizing but in the current public-private partnership iteration that's absolutely the case. |
