Let me first make clear that I LOVE the space program. I believe it’s vitally important to us as a nation and for the world. However, this torch in space thing is kinda ridiculous. My feed on all the internets keeps telling me to watch cosmonauts hold an unlit torch in space. I get the international unity thing. But, it seems to me like a very expensive stunt for ratings.
The space program is already exciting but no one ever shows any interest unless something bad happens. I wish I could go back in time to the space race days. When the “world” was actually watching. It’s sad. As for the Olympics, their ratings are bad as well. NBC lost $223 million on the Vancouver Winter Games. The Olympics has never been more about athletics but more about politics. I guess that’s why I’m totally disinterested in them. This torch “walk” in space, not the first torch in space actually, is one big expensive advertisement dressed up as a world uniting event. #olympics #spacewalk #olympictorch #sochi2014 #sochiolympics
