Mixed feelings. Love his work with the space program. Loathe him as a politician.

Yup as Michael Z Williamson said, he went to space and left his brain there.

Brave, intrepid -- commie

And thus begins another round of me saying, "No, no relation, and I'm not named after him. My folks honestly thought no one would shorten Jonathan to Jon.", every time I'm introduced. :evil:

Early work as a pilot and as a astronaut was good.

Later work when he bludgeoned NASA into giving him a ride, not so good.

The less said about his Senatoring the better.
