You don't engage in any activities unless they are necessary? What a sad life you must lead! You need to answer the question given to you. I would go because I want to go. You shouldn't want to go on the flight. You have already stated that such flights are unnecessary. Wanting to go on the flight is not sufficient reason. Maybe not for you. For me, it's everything. For you, an opponent of manned space flight, it's an insufficient reason. For those in favor of manned space flight for that reason and other reasons, it is sufficient reason. So you believe that you can define the opinions and values of people other than yourself? You're sounding nearly as crazy as the dead guy whose handle you took over. In order for anyone to describe your values, peterson, you would have to have some values. So far, you look like a hypocrite. He's too stupid to be a hypocrite. Can't can't conflict with his stated values if he can't *remember* them. What spews out of his keyboard is essentially random. Chris's are like that. Stupid. -- Terry Austin "Terry Austin: like the polio vaccine, only with more asshole." -- David Bilek Jesus forgives sinners, not criminals. |

Mankind should go into space if going into space produces good effects, not just because the side effects are useful. War is another human activity which produces useful side effects. For instance WWII caused technology to evolve considerably. Should we therefore go to war with one another on a large scale just because of the technological benefits? |

The US bought Alaska from Russia without having any particular plan for what to do with it. The same might be even be said for the purchase of Louisiana from France. The US developed ARPAnet without envisioning what it would lead to. Early computer companies never envisioned the PC and the related consumer and business tech. The Interstate highway system led to an improved standard of living everywhere in the US, but that was not its purpose. Going into space led very quickly to improved communication capabilities and weather forecasting. The Apollo program led to major improvements without which the US would have a space program about as dull as Sweden's. |

Aside from the lives saved by the medical advances, the direct financial value of the industries created is at least an order of magnitude more than the cost of the space program, if not two. NASA has a magazine about it: https://spinoff.nasa.gov/ The value of basic research is beyond question. People who oppose it really want to hunt their dinner with a sharp stick. They should be forced to do so. -- Terry Austin Vacation photos from Iceland: https://plus.google.com/u/0/collection/QaXQkB "Terry Austin: like the polio vaccine, only with more asshole." -- David Bilek Jesus forgives sinners, not criminals. |
