If they are given the ability to go to space, they will do it and do it well.</s>C: What a great way to start the day: tuning in after the intro to an interview with an unknown artist and a musician and then to find out that the artist is Commander Cody and he's alive and singing and painting.</s>LIANE HANSEN, Host: We want to hear from you.
