Good news for space policy
On Mon, 21 Jul 2003 20:25:15 +0000 (UTC), in a place far, far away,
(Greg Kuperberg) made the phosphor on
my monitor glow in such a way as to indicate that:
As for manned spaceflight, I was referring to what manned spaceflight
has accomplished so far. Maybe you have in mind space tourism. I will
count that as being as useful as what tourists have paid for it so far.
Which is to say, almost nothing compared to what is spent on unmanned
spaceflight.
Which is to say on a dollar basis, it's potentially as or more useful.
Or maybe you have in mind space exploration.
No, I've little interest in "space exploration."
