   believed that it was possible to launch an interstellar ship on a 100 year   
   trip to the Centauri system, using just the technology available in the   
   1960s.  Furthermore, Dad believed    
   that the US had actually launched such a ship.

   is frowned upon.  A black woman reminds the black man that it isn't lawful for   
   him to love that woman.  Why didn't JFK order that there be no racial   
   discrimination on board    
   Ascension?  After all, it is well outside the jurisdiction of the South!   
      
   As to your last point, was it not more a matter of cross-class "contamination"   
   that was being frowned upon?
