NASA’s main purpose now is to film self esteem flix for Muslim 3rd world countries. Remember how America felt when JFK promised us the moon in a decade?
ML Because the cartoon is cropped you can’t see the faces propelling the rocket to places no man has gone to before.

Yup, very appropriate given the dismantling of the shuttle program. And Houston doesn even get one of the shuttles. What a slap in the face to the people of of Houston.
Sorry, Houston is in Tejas, and they elected a governor that wants to secede. And all those NASA rocket scientists are a bunch of far left socialist climate change scare mongers, like the commoniss at EPA. Paul Ryan and Inhofe and that looney tune congressman Barton from Texas all say so, so it must be true.
Grog- from what I’ve heard, they went to those willing to put up $$$. Naturally we’d wish they went to the symbolic places, but instead have gone wherever people expect to exploit them. Follow the money!
The poor guy on the right is pointing out that his air hose is loose. What’s all that stuff flying off them? I love the bug eyes of the one on the left.

Darker area in the upper right corner with the triangle of stars. More of a bust than a mere face.
