[FPSPACE] Haiku to commemorate an anniversary

[LARRY KLAES]

If it helps any, Aldrin was using the urination system in his spacesuit when
Nixon was talking to them on the telephone.  Another first on the Moon.

I agree that Nixon should not have been the one whose name adorns all
those Apollo LM plaques on the lunar surface.  He and his cronies 
essentially
gutted NASA in 1970 and left us with the Space Shuttle instead of a real
space station and manned missions to Mars.
