Please try to understand, Americans, that people from other
countries may be more than a bit surprised to find out that
some of the astronaut's families will receive very little
indemnity from NASA, and that someone does not automatically
get up in Congress to vote them a living.

But people from other countries are also surprised to see
newsitems on American TV about people living in a cave in a
park in Manhattan, or having nowhere to live at all. Somebody
had better take care of your own.
