39. That is exactly right!

Space flight isn't a joy ride, it is serious business rooted in science.

A publicity stunt, such as this SUBORBITAL flight is a meaningless effort that cost many millions of dollars. What are the benefits? Katy Perry is going to write a song?! Really? That is bullshit to the highest degree.

Gail King, who apparently was frightened about the flight, is going to praise the owner of the WaPo who has acted to diminish Freedom of the Press. When they disembarked for the capsule, they kissed the ground? Please provide me with one photograph of NASA astronauts, or Soviet/Russian/Chinese who made a similar stupid and meaningless gesture.

Well done,Gail. You must be so proud. Loser.

Frankly, Gail King is completely disconnected from the American people. She is unable to express commonality with grass-roots Americans. Her experience and her description of it is less than informative.

Still, MAGA is steadfast...
