[speaker001:] uh well uh to begin I guess uh space is uh real important I think so it's real vital to the future of not only our kids but every generation until the end of time I guess so
[speaker002:] yeah I I I I agree it's it's definitely new frontier stuff
[speaker001:] uh so uh but uh I'm not too up to date on the space on the space frontier but uh but I guess they're going going pretty far into it now um Star Wars is not too far I don't think but uh
[speaker002:] yeah I I worked on some of it at TI once upon a time
[speaker001:] oh have you
[speaker002:] yeah
[speaker001:] so what do you know about it
[speaker002:] well actually I'm I I'm quite versed lately I get on a computer network all the time and people are talking about about the current space program all the time they're talking about new rockets that they're designing now that you know are just like science fiction you know it's like they take off you know and then they land with the with the you know the afterburners are going you know not like space shuttle landing you know gliding down but straight down to the landing pad
[speaker001:] really oh my gosh
[speaker002:] yeah it's called VCX or something like that also called Delta Clipper which is a decent name for something like that
[speaker001:] well well I don't know you think you'd you think you'd uh go up in space you had a chance
[speaker002:] oh yeah I think I would I think that'd be neat
[speaker001:] would you I think I would just just sitting here talking talking about it if the time came it'd be real nervous I'd be scared I think that'd be worse than
[speaker002:] yeah
[speaker001:] Six Flags roller coaster that'd be pretty hairy
[speaker002:] well you know I had a car uh uh a tire come off of a car so you know that's like I know what it's like to
[speaker001:] yeah imagine
[speaker002:] depending depending on what was left of my technology to get me home
[speaker001:] right right
[speaker002:] so uh
[speaker001:] well I guess they're talking about people going to the moon and stuff now or where ever
[speaker002:] yeah they're talking about doing that again too
[speaker001:] and opening up those stations or what ever filling them I don't know if we'll ever see that but
[speaker002:] um-hum well least uh have a space station supposedly in the next few years
[speaker001:] oh really
[speaker002:] yeah and they're gonna put
[speaker001:] that's all beyond my imagination really but science fiction books
[speaker002:] yeah
[speaker001:] I mean you look at the Jetsons you know a cartoon show and it's not too far fetched what what they all had in those cartoons so you never know
[speaker002:] oh yeah yeah
[speaker001:] and they had stuff on the Jetsons from that cartoon that you would never imagine would come become possible and now you we have lot of those so
[speaker002:] um-hum
[speaker001:] so you never know what what may occur but as far as me seeing it no
[speaker002:] yeah
[speaker001:] I don't know I don't know but I think it's real vital important for the future you know generations to come so
[speaker002:] um-hum yeah I I it's it's it's something definitely that uh yeah it's it's uh got the extra little oomph of interest
[speaker001:] yeah
[speaker002:] yeah
[speaker001:] I'm sure it'll draw a lot more interest too once it becomes you know like it's more possible
[speaker002:] yeah
[speaker001:] when they start showing the drawings and all that I'm sure you know when they
[speaker002:] yeah I wish uh like uh Boeing or or uh McDonald Douglas or something like that was supposed to buy a a space shuttle sooner or later
[speaker001:] right
[speaker002:] and just make it you know purely commercial
[speaker001:] uh-huh
[speaker002:] I'd go up you know and do things and you know
[speaker001:] so did they scratch those uh that Star Wars deal you know the one we was all worried about Russia and all that
[speaker002:] oh no it's still probably going but I don't know whether it it research will go on
[speaker001:] yeah but the economy the way it is all over them they probably cut back on
[speaker002:] oh yeah
[speaker001:] on that because it's not
[speaker002:] well they're they're gonna be cutting back so much on just you know the number of troops we've got in Europe and the number of troops we have here
[speaker001:] right yeah I know and then
[speaker002:] but uh Russia's still gonna have missiles they're still gonna be subs and things
[speaker001:] yeah and we don't know who's handling handling them now so that's a whole different story now
[speaker002:] yeah latest I heard it was just gonna be Russia that Russia itself that was gonna have them
[speaker001:] oh really
[speaker002:] at least that was you know that's what everybody says oh yeah yeah we want only Russia to have them
[speaker001:] uh-huh
[speaker002:] and now they say yeah yeah you're republic you don't want those you don't want those give them to mother Russia
[speaker001:] some crazy Hitler over there from one of those little republican republics or whatever they're splitting it all up now and one of them crazy crazy guys get a hold of you never know
[speaker002:] um-hum
[speaker001:] but that the guy that's taken over for Gorbachev he's supposed to be uh he's supposed to be on our side isn't he or pretty much
[speaker002:] one hopes
[speaker001:] yeah I think we went through him though to get to Gorbachev on a lot of subjects so
[speaker002:] um-hum
[speaker001:] but that way you can't never tell that
[speaker002:] yeah
[speaker001:] you know you know kiss some butt but
[speaker002:] but uh
