They did?
“Deep Space Homer” was the 2nd most awesome ‘Simpsons’ ever! Subtle, non-overbearing guest stars, clever scientific refs, well-paced gags, lightly written gags…

No joke. I’m in Houston and they won’t shut up about Her! “The astronaut planning to kidnap a romantic rival…” We. Get. It.

Yes, if only we spent that money on fighter jets that are never flown and have to wait 10 years in an air base before their Tec becomes obsolete enough that they are safe to scrap… So much better then developing space travel

You forgot a slice for “Spent tens/hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars just to lose contact at the last minute and the probe/spaceship plows into planet surface/lost in space forever.”

I suppose “astronaut goes looney toons, prepares to drive long distance in adult diaper to do injury to romantic rival” counts as an imminent disaster, at least, in the PR sense.

But Apollo 11 level coverage has had it’s day and now that level of coverage is over. You have to admit that.

There is all sorts of neat stuff going on out there… I had no idea until I started going to Astronomy Picture of the Day!
There should be an evening blurb about the space program just like there is a sports re-cap.

1. Wrong graph format.
2. I believe this has already been done in a better format.
