What REALLY (edit) me off is the attempt to hijack this by the "administration" as THEIR SUCCESS! I swear, my thoughts would get me banned here.

It was a wonderful achievement for our country and mankind in general. The night it landed I watched the 1964 movie version of H.G. Wells "First Men In The Moon". Victorians in outer space, talk about vintage!

Politics in a joyous thread about the Mars landing? Buzzkill.

Funny stuff. Gotta enjoy the kids having some fun. As to politics - that was done by politicians. Blame them.
