Weird parallel with this American Song:

"A rat done bit my sister Nell. (with Whitey on the moon) Her face and arms began to swell. (and Whitey's on the moon) I can't pay no doctor bill. (but Whitey's on the moon) Ten years from now I'll be payin' still. (while Whitey's on the moon) The man jus' upped my rent las' night. ('cause Whitey's on the moon) No hot water, no toilets, no lights. (but Whitey's on the moon)

-- Gil Scott Heron

Probably not so surprising: those who struggle with their bare existence, are not so thrilled with money shot into space, compared to the better off.
