A Confused Story and Things That Never Happened

President faces a Kennedy decision on space, MSNBC
“President Bush gathered the best minds and experts of the day and told them to get started. “It’ll be cheaper to modify an unmanned rocket like the Atlas 5 or Delta 4,” said one. “Right,” agreed another, but they soon found the Atlas 5 and the Delta 4 didn’t have the power. They would have to be beefed up. It was back to the drawing board, and the drawing board kept pointing them back to Apollo, to the kind of system the Russians had been flying successfully for five decades.”
Keith’s note: Um, when exactly did this meeting happen, Jay? Where? When? Where do I start. You are some confused on some things, dead wrong on others, and you recall things that never actually happened. Get a fact checker next time.
