#1 The temptation for VERY un-PC snark is almost overwhelming.

#2 Dear Mr. Museveni, inquiring minds must ask. Could a HalfroAmericam qualify for one-way passage?

#3 or Mars, even:
The Congressional bonehead award goes to Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX) who, on a visit to JPL, asked if Mars Pathfinder had taken an image of the flag planted there in 1969 by Neil Armstrong! Quipped Rep. Vernon Ehlers (R-MI) to the Washington Times: We just dont teach enough science. Worse, Jackson Lee, who represents Houston, is a member of the House Science Committees space subcommittee. Perhaps some committee reassignments are in order

#6
Please, Africa, when you go to the moon, be prepared, pack a nice picnic basket, dont forget condoms and some food aid from the UN or NATO. A fly swatter and some HIV drugs would be a nice touch.

#7 "Africans must travel to the moon"

Can we send the whole damn place?

That's foreign aid I can get behind....

#8 Barbara, couldnt agree more.

When they plant a flag on the moon, will it have a big UNICEF symbol on it?

#9 I see no reason Africans cannot go to the moon.
in the article Nothing was said about returning?

That's the hardest part.

#10 "The Americans have gone to the moon. And the Russians. The Chinese and Indians will go there soon. Africans are the only ones who are stuck here,"

Nothing about the Arabs, Persians or Indonesians. He got something against Muzzies?

#11 We can start with Ga-daffy and Mugabe. They can find their own way back.

#12 Excuse me, but just WHEN did the Russians make it to the Moon? Or is Museveni counting unmanned probes? NO Russian walked the face of the Moon, they quit trying after the US's third landing.

#13 It's a shame we quit going there. There's lots to learn that can best (or only) be learned there. Besides, it would make the Saudis howl even louder (Islam is supposed to conquer the world before a man walks on the moon - didn't happen, probably won't ever happen, even if the rest of us leave). Landing on the moon was the last great success of NASA. It's been downhill ever since.
