I guess from a certain perspective that's true, but
don't forget, without NASA and space travel, our
electronic music scene would be profoundly different.
Think of "spacelab," "space is the place," Red Planet,
most of Detroit electro for that matter....Not that
America's organization alone influenced electronica's
foundations, but we definitely have to be thankful
NASA was around to influence that generation of kids.
Isn't there anything else positive about NASA? Oh
yeah, we shouldn't forget about scientific discovery
and exploration of our universe....
Three major disasters out of how many non-disasters?
Don't start ranting about something that doesn't
require a rant....
