  2. …this seems like a good place to bring this up again, what with the space program and all…

    I remember a story about John Glenn’s psychological tests to become an astronaut.

    “…and submitted to batteries of personality quizzes that included, among others, one entitled “Who An I?” which called for 20 short answers to that question. (John Glenn recalled that the first answers were easy—”I am a man, I am a Marine, I am a flier, I am a husband . . . I am a father.” Near the end, he confessed, it was not so easy to figure out who he was.)”

    …I wonder how soon to be Supreme Court “Justice” Ketanji Brown Jackson would answer were the same test applied to her, seems like she wouldn’t make it past John Glenn’s first response.

    …and with THIS caliber of people in government, I guess it is not a surprise that they don’t say *we* are going back to the Moon…
