Sad to see how such a noble race degenerated into millionaire's joy rides.

The quicktime movies are better than Thunderbirds...perhaps.

It is very coooold, in space!

We might have colonies on Mars by now.

Once the N1 booster (possibly the most idiotic example of brute force engineering ever built) went *KABOOM*, it was all over.

I hope China goes ahead with it's moon program, but their timeline is wildly optimistic.
