Forty Years Ago Today...

A US built Lunar orbiter arrived at the moon and began... well orbiting.

This followed missions where chimps were launched into space and recovered alive, and the world watched with awe as men actually left our atmosphere and orbited planet Earth a few times before splashing down and waving to us from their craft bobbing in the sea.  A decade of real milestones to putting a man on the moon and conquering the stars.

Switch to the present. Earlier this month, a rusty pipe in Alaska caused panic that gasoline prices might skyrocket. Our elected officials investigate major league sports instead of their own corruption. Man hasn't been back to the moon in decades, much less the stars.

But the conservatives did successfully launch a chimp into the White House.
