You have the woman astronaut, the black astronaut, the white astronaut and the immigrant astronaut on the way to the backside of the moon! I was in Disney World with my son when the Challenger exploded and the very next day on the way to Tampa we stopped at a HOJO’s for lunch and sat at the counter. The lady who served us said that Astronaut McNair’s parents had sat there the day before their son was killed!
Because Reagan was scheduled to give the State of the Union no question that someone at NASA wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to talk about the teacher in space! John Glenn was right that this political PR event should never have happened and I can tell you that I froze my ass off at Disney World that very morning! When Trump scheduled his speech for the same day as the Artemis launch I thought oh geez here we go again!
And that is all I’m going to say about that!
