Watched a documentary last night about the US moon missions of the 1969-72 period. Those astronauts were incredibly brave and talented people; still they were morally corrupted by the militarism and jingoism that infects US society.

One of the astronauts said he felt guilty for a while that the was unable to join his air force friends in bombing the hell out of the Vietnamese -- the big US enemy in those days.

What can you say about a society that so corrupts is best and brightest.
