You're thinking of a PBS commercial that runs very frequently. Pianist is trying to come up with a melody and keeps failing only to look out his Window to see a few birds on telephone wires - the simple melody is used as inspiration for a much more complex piece.
"Well sir, we're just not making as much money as we used to when the space race was important...." "Hey, everyone, look over here... first teacher in space!" Boom. Money pours into NASA's coffers. "Well, we need extra money for the war effort, and people just weren't that interested in the International Space Station..." "Hey, everyone, look over here... first Isreali in space!" Boom. Money pours into NASA's coffers.
I'm not big on conspiracy theories, but this was the big thing on my mind this morning when I saw the news. I doubt I'm the only one thinking it.
