If you agree with this decision, YOU are the problem. Go rot elsewhere. Neanderthals.

Gabby Giffords and her husband showed compassion. Instead of you conspiracy theorists talking trash, you need to try to understand and show compassion. Agenda my ass. She knows pain of gun violence better than any of you. I applaud her reaching out to grieving families.

Re: Apollo 11 Command Module "Columbia" - Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum

I vividly remember seeing the Apollo 11 Command Module as part of the American Tour in 1970. I was 9 years old, and my Cub Scout group went to the State Capitol here in Sacramento, California and got to see it and touch it. I recall it being on some sort of flat bed truck or stage you could walk up to. It did not have all the Plexy Glass surrounding it as it does now. But what a thrill for it to have toured and I got to be a part of it in 1970.

I have seen it many times during Washington D.C. visits since. I am just in awe of all the men and women who put America in Space. I'm 48 now... and I sure hope in my remaining lifetime... we step on another spacial body, so the kids of today can appriciate what we ALL did 40 years ago!
