How many billion did NASA give SpaceX to build and launch a rocket that they should have been building and launching? I see it shut itself down before launch this morning? Well at least it didn't destroy itself. This reminds me of a very funny story about the early days of the space program and everybody wanting to be involved in news coverage, that is all of the wannabe newshounds. People did some really strange things back then and as soon as I get a few minutes I'll put this story on paper...well on here anyway.
