Excelsior!

Folks my age are old enough to remember, wistfully, the golden age of the American manned-spaceflight program, and have with sadness watched NASA’s long descent into senescence and irrelevance — from the virile pioneer of a “new frontier” that it was in the 1960s, to a sedentary bureaucracy tasked with getting children interested in science and making Muslims feel good about themselves.

Well, geezers, take heart: there’s still a manned-spaceflight program in America, and it’s just taking off. Bill Whittle explains in this encouraging video, now two years old.

(As with our previous link, thanks to Derb for this one.)

    I believe the proper phrasing is “Excelsior, you fathead!”
