Silver rockets

What's wrong with America? I mean, besides imperialism and gross inequality. We were the vanguard of space travel. We put a flag on the moon. We still rock missions to the international space station. So why didn't we shower our affections on the Rockets? We should've made them our galactic ambassadors. But no, these French disco futurists had to settle for a merely respectable career in Europe, living out their glory in Italian arenas and variety shows.

But it's not too late. I figure since the planet hasn't yet been attacked by superior space beings, there's still time to get serious about our interstellar broadcasts. Let's quit it with the multilingual hellos and go with a more universal playlist. Any of the Rockets' first 3 albums will do. Are you listening, NASA?
