- Sounds liek what is needed is to convince the US population that Space is where
- we need to go.. Sounds like NASA needs to spend more on Public Relations.
-
- Maybe get a news network involved. maybe have them do some mnor sponsorship of
- some space related high profile TV programs/Cable to. Such as Star Trek
- (TNG/DS9). I am finding that if a major news netowrk is on your side, you can
- do alot of things.. REF: Clinton.. and somewhat Perot.. I know of other third
- party candidates who can't get to square one, but Perot comes out of obscurity
- to where people want to know what he ate for breakfast..
-
- Maybe also try to have some space/science programs on mainlien TV..
- Also start or help local quality TV organizations, namely cause of what I have
- seen the basic bent for modern TV is a prime help for the lack of science in
- the current crop of students..
- Im not talking violence, Im talking about who is cool and who is not..
- Scientists many times are not cool, they are egghead, nerds, geeks and such..
- Bumbling social idiots.. (I might be wrong)..
