CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY MARCH 20, 2025
DID YOU WATCH IT? THE RETURN OF THE ASTRONAUTS STRANDED IN SPACE FOR NINE MONTHS. IT WAS A BEAUTIFUL SIGHT WATCHING THE COLORFUL PARACHUTES UNFOLD BENEATH A CLEAR BLUE SKY LATE TUESDAY AFTERNOON AND THE CAPSULE DROP INTO CALM WATERS OFF TALLAHASSEE, FLORIDA.
THIS IS THE KIND OF GREAT ACHIEVEMENT THAT USED TO UNIFY AMERICA. I COVERED THE SPACE PROGRAM AS A YOUNG REPORTER IN HOUSTON AND HAD THE PLEASURE OF MEETING MANY OF THE ASTRONAUTS, INCLUDING SOME OF THE ORIGINAL SEVEN. THEY WERE GREAT AMERICANS, DEDICATED TO AN IMPORTANT CAUSE – BEATING THE SOVIETS TO THE MOON.
TODAY, SOME DEMOCRATS CAN’T EVEN FEEL GOOD ABOUT THIS LATEST TRIUMPH. THAT’S BECAUSE ELON MUSK HELPED MAKE IT HAPPEN. WOULD THEY RATHER HAVE LEFT THE ASTRONAUTS IN SPACE? WOULD THEY HAVE WISHED THEIR DEATH?
LIGHTEN UP DEMOCRATS. THE LEAST YOU COULD HAVE DONE IS TO HAVE REMINDED THE COUNTRY THAT DEMOCRAT JOHN KENNEDY SET GOING TO THE MOON AS A MAJOR GOAL THAT WAS ACHIEVED ON JULY 20, 1969. AND THAT LAUNCHED A LARGELY SUCCESSFUL SPACE PROGRAM THAT ENDURES TODAY.
LET SOME DEMOCRATS GROUSE, I’M CELEBRATING THE SUCCESSFUL MISSION. I’M CAL THOMAS.
