We all need comfort reading after Kneeling Before Zod

Woke up from a weird dream where I'd earned dozens of sales on my books across the board at Amazon KDP after General Zod and Co. from Superman II had come to Earth and taken over. (Hey, he may be a superpowered alien despot, but at least he grants free speech.) Turned out not to be true, alas.

Let's play "Space Advocacy Bingo!"

Unrepentantedly ripped off from this thread at james_nicoll's LJ.

Mark off the space on your card when you hear:

Lunar Helium-3
Solar Power Satellites
Zero Gravity Manufacturing
Platinum Group Metals
Darwin in Spaaaaace (Evolutionary Imperative to Explore)
The Analogy with Columbus
Space Race II, Yellow Peril Boogaloo
Obama Killed the Shuttle!
Loss of Will
Beancounters
Demonizing Famous Space Skeptics (Proxmire/Mondale/Van Allen/Park etc.)
Free Enterprise to the Rescue
The Sun's Going to Burn out in Only Four Billion Years, Better Hurry
The Space Program Gave Us Fire (Spinoffs)
Airbreathing Launchers
Orion (Nuclear Pulse Rockets)
Inspiring Children
Limits to Growth on Earth
That Asteroid is Worth $10 Trillion!
Science Fiction Used as Justification for Real Life Actions
We Haven't Had Enough Fatalities in the Space Program Yet (so we're not going fast enough!)
Economies of Scale Will Bring Launch Costs Down
Space Industry Doesn't Pollute, so We're the Real Environmentalists Here
Rods From God
They laughed at Columbus
If Only NASA would do better PR
$ASTRONAUT says this is the only way
Nixon killed Apollo
Manifest Destiny in Spaaaaace!
It's just like opening the West (The trans-continental railroad fallacy.)

Double points if you add a supporting argument from Jerry Pournelle in any context.
