Yes, let's continue to look through our telescopes and dream. Let's make

it a
dream for our decendants 200 years from now. It's a safe dream. We never

have
to commit.

Like Star Trek. We can enjoy it without ever taking the risk.

That's sad.

And we're supposed to be such a learned group.



I am not at all against taking a risk if it is time for it and if it paid
off with unique returns. Seems to me that robots are doing just fine now
and at this point in time there is nothing a human can do up there which is
beyond the capabilities of present and well into the future robots.

The only reason for manned spaceflight research is to cross it back into
defense manned weapon space vehicles. Funnel more bucks to the defense
industry and get more campaign donations from the weapons makers (who
also luckily make all our space components.) Our economy isn't going to
get better (except for the superrich) so we have to make gains for
ourselves in the future by threatening and blackmailing the rest of the
world with our superior technology and weapons. Bush and his ilk are
sickos; for the survival of humanity I pray the MORON is not reelected.
