That's just my interpretation of NASA's difficulty increasing the youth appeal of the space program. Given the anti-intellectualism of America, the decline of industrialist attitudes of the populace and the desire to pursue leisure activities in America, and then there are the zombies; this may be an uphill battle for NASA. At least those smart folks identified the problem early. I think I can help NASA out. 1. Bring back Firefly. 2. Have American Gladiators filmed in space. 3. Mark each launch of the shuttle with a women of the Milky Way vs. Women of the Andromeda Galaxy mud wrestling competition.
