Space Entrepreneur Opines Donald Trump Could Do an Inspirational Space Program (examiner.com)
MarkWhittington writes: Robert Bigelow of Bigelow Aerospace opened his new Twitter account with the suggestion that Donald Trump, the mercurial businessman who is running for president, might just give the United States an inspirational space program. Then, thinking better of the idea, Bigelow deleted the tweet and replaced it with an image of the Olympus inflatable space module, which his company envisions as being the basis of a commercial space station.
Only Trump? If Trump is 100% crazy then mainstream politicians like Hillary and Obama are 99.9% crazy. And Trump doesn't seem to take himself too seriously.
What's scary about Hillary is that a lot of the policies she advocates are just as nonsensical as Trump's. But the possibility that she might be wrong doesn't even seem to occur to her. Sure, building a wall along the parts of the border with Mexico that are way out in remote parts of the desert would be a waste of taxpayer money. But it would be many orders of magnitude smaller than the amount of money wasted on the Iraq war - that Hillary in all judgement and experience and wisdom thought was such a thoroughly wonderful idea.
