Nasa vs. Nasa

[James Hurd]

	 A number of people where killed on the space shuttle Challenger,
because among other things, Ronald Reagan wanted to mention the "teacher
in space" in his State-of-the-union speech that night. Many NASA
scientists had great misgivings about the shuttle going up in that very
cold weather.  I wonder who has done the most harm to kids, those
represented at NASA.gov or NASA.com? Remember when the powers that be
were trying to get counseling to every school kid who had witnessed the
event on TV?  At least that horrible tragedy had some pedagogic value- the
youth of America learned one very valuable lesson-- never trust the
government.

in prettifying and glorifying his rulers, a crafty scholar who confuses
and mystifies the people, thus protecting and preserving his odious
regime."
