The phrase “all’s fair in love and war” unfortunately also applies to politics. Especially when it comes to gerrymandering in Virginia. But it is fair to say that the Democrat push for redistricting prior to the 2030 census has shattered the concept of fairness.

06-25-1959 (cutline): Space Age on a Sand Pit--John C. Palmer , scientists in charge of research missions at Wallops Island off Virginia's Eastern Shore, and Germain S. Brown, civil engineer in charge of construction, brief newsmen on building activity as the National Aernoautics and Space Administration expands its facilities. Work is reaching completion on three radar towers which will give Wallops its first long-range tracking and tie into the worldwide satallite tracking system. The new launch pads will permit firing of more powerful space vehicles. A tunnel is being dug to connect it to a blockhouse yet to be built. Wallops' job is to get the "bugs" out of new devices before full-scale space monsters are built.

From the Archives: Wallop's Island
Wallop’s Island, a six-square mile island off of Virginia’s Eastern Shore, has a rich history dating back to the 1600s when it was granted to John Wallop by the Crown (of England) in 1692. The island passed hands several times and in the late 1940s, the U.S. Navy began using part of the island for aviation ordnance testing. Soon after, NASA leased a section of the island for their rocket launching facility.
