The question is not whether we explore or not - we always will. The question is when. What's the rush? After all, it is not like the moon and Mars are going anywhere. Last time I checked, they have no plans to relocate or disappear. -Ramon |

A lot of military developed equipment has useful civilian applications. I drive a HUMMER...and then there's GPS... And for what its worth, the Saturn boosters were not military in origin. |
