Actually are we not looking at this the wrong way. Why do we need coverage
coverage coverage in the midia. Most of the interesting stuff happens in
science without cameras showing it all the time after all. If we want to be
going off world one needs to take it a little step at a time gradually
letting go of the earth support. I do not think we are anywhere near ready
for that just yet. the moon is a fair way, but not out in the asteroid
belt where a blown major item is next to impossible to replace.

Generally I agree. But to twist an old phrase, "No Buck Rogers, no bucks".

Manned space tends to help unmanned space. There's something to be said
about "being there".
