Good idea that was only 54 years ago, a totally different technology and engineering then
this go around, and something like 70% of those people are dead.

I have a family member who worked @ NASA and used to really have the best and brightest
….. being in a room with my family member and her NASA colleagues was very humbling ….
and 40 seconds of that Trump chuckle head lets me know he is nowhere near to their intellect.
Lots of problems have to be worked out on this project such as how not to cook the astronauts
with solar radiation.
