yeeeehaaa!

Doesn't NASA have a bunch already? Weren't Neil Armstrong during
Gemini
and
Apollo, and Harrison Schmidt on Apollo 14, civilians?


We have the first astronaut of a civilian funded spacecraft.

I do believe civilians have funded every penny of the US space program.

Amazing, isn't it, how many people completely miss that point, and too, that
a tax cut "costs the government".
