| Marathon Pundit in New Mexico |
Virgin Galactic is part of Billionaire Richard Branson's empire, the goal of this enterprise is to serve as a space tourism junket for rich slobs like global-warming believer Leonardo DiCaprio.
How much greenhouse gas does a spaceship emit before it leaves the Earth's atmosphere?
I've wandered a bit into the desert.
Virgin Galactic is a tenant of Spaceport America, which is in southern New Mexico. Voters in two Land of Enchantment counties foolishly approved taxes--$40 million worth--to fund the hangar for space junkets for the rich.
Why couldn't Branson and DiCaprio cough up the money instead?

Uh-oh! Can any discussion of actors and space boondoggles be complete without mention of Raygun's star wars missile shield? Pew! Pew! Pew! Captain Raygun lasers the Evil Empire's nukes out of space, with his faithful sidekick Bonzo, at his side, as a grateful nation turns their lonely eyes to him. Hardly a dry eye in the house as the whole fiasco drifts into the black hole that is conservative fact!
Ronald Reagan, who transformed the malaise of the Jimmy Carter years into prosperity, who also won the Cold War. Reagan, who made America great again.
You're thinking of his later boffo blockbuster, "Bonzo Goes to Grenada," assuring that America's nutmeg supplies will be forever secure, though most critics agree he was overshadowed by the monkey, who, to be fair, got all the good lines.
US troops came to Grenada to oust Cubans. Cubans were ousted. Questions?
Yes. Is that you, Bonzo? I always considered you to be the brains of that operation.
