i worked in the space program in the 90′s at ksc and cc. it quickly became apparent that government control really puts blinders on direction. imho, private industry needs to lead in most all things new and better in our society. government leading gives us green failed/failing companies. the u.s.s.r. was a clasroom example of why socialism doesn’t work. we got to see the whole bloody disaster first hand. people shot/machine gunned trying to escape over and under that wall. terror on one side, a modern rich world on the other. have we forgotten so soon?

btw, don’t believe for a minute we can’t build a wall to control access. its already been done, except before it was put there to keep people from fleeing communism/socialism. how ironic our beloved kenyan has people believing government control is the best thing ever. go figure.
