I established my credibility regarding space at the Michigan Daily during
my freshman year by writing several stories, including this Editorial printed
October 23, 1968, the day after the Apollo 7 landing. It concludes: "If
funds must be cut, the already limited space budget should not be clipped and
used as a scapegoat. The war In Vietnam and pork barrel projects cost far more
than space exploration and yield far fewer benefits, both actual and potential,
than the space program. A sensible, stable space program is an investment in
the future, an investment this country should make." I think this stands
up pretty well after 45 years.
