"We" are not responsible for failures on the launch pad. "We" are not responsible for failures on the moon.
Living here in Florida near Kennedy Space Center, I hear and read more stories about corporate failures at the Cape than I find published or broadcast in the national media. And when the stories appear in the corporate press at all, they are mostly transfigured into failures of the American people, rather than the failures of private corporations as they truly are.
I was put in mind of this by recent reporting on yet another failed launch of a rocket and by the news of a private corporation's lunar rover I guess it was, that landed on its side and not straight up.
These are stories of failure, all right, but you and I are not responsible. The privatization of rocket launches and lunar landings is responsible. That's the true story of "the man behind the curtain," if you will, the true story behind the stories published by the corporate media.
