… aaannnndddnd we are still not going anywhere … Wait, I just figured out a way for us here at Giza to get in on the moolah gravy train … First, we get together and start a “Space Company” called the Benben Space Company (trademark and copyright by ScarmoCo) then ask the government for contracts in the amount of … say , slightly over 1 billion (to ask for anything under that amount would raise suspicion that you weren’t “really” trying to get into space) spend a few million to get the “look” right then blow it up. Shucky darn, Golly gee whiz, I sure thought we had it right this time with all of that Whiz bang modern digital technology stuff … and now you have plenty of money left over for you and your friends to travel around the world and have a child with a different woman every other year or so. General Butler, I hate to tell you, but War ain’t the only racket in town.
At this point it appears that the current version of “lets go to other moon and other planets” is just nothing but a techno-money laundering (excuse the pun) pyramid scheme. I hate to say it but those 6 successful Moon landings are beginning to look a little sketchy …
But, on the other hand we have two rovers “on Mars” that have been operating for approx. 5,000 and 2,000 days. Hmmmmm.
I’ll say it again … Nazi Engineers and Saturn V plans please.
