RB>>>> I was pleased when "Cape Kennedy" reverted to "Cape Canaveral".
MV>>> Hmmm... Kennedy was the POTUS to initiate the Apollo project that MV>>> put man on the moon. That was almost half a century ago and no MV>>> other nation has repeated that yet. He deserves some credit for that. MV>>> I don't support rewriting history.
RB>> I don't either.That's why I (and not only I) was so angered when RB>> they tried to change Cape Canaveral into Cape Kennedy. Why not RB>> change Washington, D.C. to Kennedy, D.C.?
But it is still Kennedy Space Center, and that is where most space shots are launched. The base at Cape Canaveral mostly launches military stuff, from the lectures and history of space as given at KSC at least.
DR> Is it still Kennedy Airport? What was it before? Something like Idewilde?
RB>>>> The half dollars were bad enough. At least FDR deswerved to be put RB>>>> on the dime.
MV>>> If you say so...
RB>> I do. He (FDR) was the man who made sure you (and the rest of RB>> Europe) aren't speaking German nowadays. What did Kennedy do except RB>> to stand by while the wall between east and west Germany was being built? RB>> "Ich bin ein Berliner" (spoken phonetically, without understanding) RB>> was a cheap rhetorical trick the Germans unfortunately fell for.
DR> " I am a doughnut!"
RB>> Better choose your heros with more discretion.
DR> Sure thing!
Gee, I think Bob didn't like JFK.
