RUSH: Here is Dave in Lewisburg, Pennsylvania. Great to have you on the EIB Network. Hello.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hello, Rush. Mega prayer dittos to you and Kathryn.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

RUSH: Thank you, sir, very much.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hey, before the break you mentioned about 1968 which got me to thinking that we had the Apollo 8 launched in \u201968; we had riots in \u201968. On Saturday, we had riots and we had the Falcon 9 launch. Are we doomed to repeat history? I just wanted to get your take on all of that.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, you know, I loved it, and it was a fascinating side-by-side comparison of us, was it not?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Mmm.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Here on one screen America being ripped to shreds by people angry over a number of things. On the other screen, here\u2019s American ingenuity, American entrepreneurism on display: The first time in 10 years that we are launching human beings into space. You people, you may not know this, folks. We\u2019ve had to pay (speaking of) the Russians.<\/p>\n

If we wanted to launch our astronauts into space to go up to the International Space Station, we had to use the Russians to do it. But this was a SpaceX capsule. I thought it was… I watched the docking on… What was it? Saturday morning, I watched the docking — no, Sunday morning — and it was fascinating to see. I was moved by it. I was happy to see it.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yeah. I enjoyed it. I watched it with my son. I was 4 years old in 1968, so I don\u2019t remember that. But my birthday\u2019s July 20th, 1969, and my dad told me that for my fifth birthday he arranged the Moon landing —<\/p>\n

RUSH: (laughing)<\/p>\n

CALLER: — which I believed for years. (laughing)<\/p>\n

RUSH: Oh, yeah. Now, I was 18 when the Moon landing happened, and I remember I was working. I was a deejay, and my shift ended. It was a Sunday afternoon. My shift ended just in time to get home and watch the landing, and I was captivated by it like everybody was. Thank you, Dave. I appreciate it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
