the problem with selling manned space travel, missions, bases and stations to all of us regular people with crappy jobs, unemployment, depression, boredom and guilt, is multi-tiered~
fist of all, we needed bad guys and good art~ both of which space is lacking
and nothing in this book is sexy, and we all know what sells~ where's the sexy cosmonaut's in flash red unzippered {Velcro } space leotard
where are the monsters~ the asteroids ~the hordes of little green monkeys ? is that a fart orb ?
nobody is going listen to pencil necks talk about control systems
we all want time travelling crazy robots, we want space opera, we want the horror, the overwhelming odds, the sun melting, the earth freezing, the sky falling drama
~ we wanna fight
are you wearing high heels ?
what we get~ is a digital test set, is that like an 8-track player ?
the primary purpose of this effort is to prepare a candidate experiment program which will have a sufficient degree of authenticity D.R.Lord
all this brain power came together with the sole purpose of finding some reason for all of this brain power coming together & to plan a future of space stations with nothing to do~ besides wearing black suits, smoking pipes and looking at expensive machines and lights
the major problems facing the space station were as follows, there was no way to get up there, within cost, the lack of anything to do in space, and the public's extreme boredom
the space shuttle
huge gigantic phallic cocks~ to ram up Space's ass
or artificial manned vagina AMV
i'm even boring myself
the only real space station we built, Skylab, which we forgot to visit, like a friends house plant and it fell out of orbit and into the ocean and exploded killing all of us
not quite like a house plant, after all
Skylab before we built it~ and drove it all the way to space
things were starting to look complicated, we couldn't build the space station with out a reusable space ship, and we didn't need the reusable low orbit space ship with out the space station but we couldn't afford both, because the cost effective reusable glider was too expensive, but we couldn't scrap the whole convoluted plan because the Pentagon needed a station wagon to pick up the spy satellites
so we, the schlub tax payer bought a really expensive reusable space ship which would have been cheaper to throw away, or put in museums, as we are~ as we speak~ which we couldn't actually use for very much except for crashing a few times
politicians advisers and presidents speak in speeches and throw a lot of words and crazy ideas around in the experimental hope/ desire to see what sticks, what catches the populations imagination, as Bush, whispering a plan to launch mars missions from the moon of all places ~a world the gods told our final Apollo astronauts never to return to
1980 ? instead of donut shaped space stations we killed a whole bunch of El Salvadorans, Sandinista's and Nicaraguans, boycotted Olympic games and armed the Taliban while teaching them to fight with shoulder mounted missiles~ like little killer space ships
a lonely place to have drink~ the bartender is a huge grey computer who asks you what you'll have with a slip of paper with holes punched out of it/ like gibberish fortune cookies /stares at you with a big red eye while behind him other computers whisper~ I B M
figure 10. captures the startling discovery of invisible space things and. . . i don't think he should be in there
is that the much feared human bullet ? loaded within the space cannon commie killer SCCK waving a final note to his loved ones back on Mars
they let black people in space ? when ? i thought this whole program was merely an extension of White flight
the conclusion of our learning process ? Bigger /graphier
we should have just built rocket nozzles in the basement of the Chrysler building and Empire State building and filled them with solid rocket fuel and poor people
this, forty years later by the way is the one and the same orbital vehicle we will now be building to get to the current pathetic space cluster of modules
also note the similarities to every other low orbit x-planning jet
the future of manned flight was, like Twinkies, built in the sixties and delivered today
nothing says sexy like long skirts and fire
thus the space staion must be located in space *actual quote
"on a cone ? sir ?"
"cone, capsule, your dick, i don't care. . . just draw it~ your getting paid"
the real question is~ why does the past's picture of the future always look so much better than our present vision of our childrens future ?
i'll take replaceable panels, but could i get those in really expensive subway tiles, instead ?
the perpendicular line represents actual cost~ and actual flights
these drawings look a lot like the future of combat jet fighters if you ask me
if we could have made these smaller and faster we could have beaten the Vietcong and saved the world from slavery and gravity
i thought i said one glowing evil red eye !!!

read the last few lines, stop paying your taxes, vote third, forth, or green parties, sell your car, walk everywhere, destroy the state, vote with gum*, build your own space station with 25 year old vans, conduct your own experiments~ write your own blog ~in analog form, with paper, and ink and real fists
and fly away~
NE!L~
*yes i said, gum
