Are you guys living under a rock?

Have you heard of the Crew Exploration Vehicle?

And we went to the moon in it what year again?

You must be confused. What else is new??  Only three men went to moon
on each of the previous trips.

Any run of the mill geek can sit with a pocket protector in his little
basement (working on his 15th news reader to install) whining and
complaining about what should have been done in the past.

But, if you think you have a better idea for the present, now is the

Of course I'm being generous in associating you with the word "think".

LOL!!
