Subject: Yohaun's alt.gothic space program

Before I begin, I am going to anticipate some complaints that this is off 
topic. It is not off-topic. It is gothic because _I_ posted it.

back down>

Any further complaints should be addressed to:

I always tend to thoroughly geek out when I hear about rockets and space 
exploration. A couple of years ago, I read in the paper that the Russians 
were so desperate for western currency that they were thinking of selling 
some of their older rockets and related technology on the open market. 
This opens up some interesting possibilities...

I have since had this recurring fantasy of going to the soviet Cosmodrome 
and saying something like:

"Here's twenty bucks. American. I would like to buy a rocket. A *big* 
one. As well as all the necessary launching facilities. Make sure it's 
fuelled up and that the life support systems are functional. I'll need a 
space suit too. Do you have any black ones? No? Well then just spray 
paint it or something. I'll even throw in an extra *five* dollars if 
you'll deliver all this stuff to my Secret Underground Laboratory."

I just think it would be a blast to have my own space program. I've always 
wanted to visit Saturn's rings, and I hear Mars is nice at the right time 
of year. I'd even install a cellular phone in the space capsule:

"Hey mom, it's me! Guess where I'm calling from?"

Hee-hee.
