We just shot a cool new probe to the moon, but how important is space exploration to the future of America? Is there none? Do we need to get back up there?
We won the space race and the cold war
and we own the moon What else is there to do?
You know in the movies where they have to save the Earth from a killer asteroid? I always root for the asteroid.space is humainitys future.
at least it is to one who can dream of giant space colonies.
Nothing is more dangerous than hope.i believe that humanity can get its act toghether and build wonders like this

Well we nailed food in a pouch, Tang, and adult diapers. What can get for the under 65 crowd?The only real benefit is the reapplication of technology developed by the space program. Exploration in and of itself is ultimately unimportant.
Reality, then death, then peace and quiet.without hope for a better tomorrow what else is there
the stars are out of our reachreach for the stars?
build space colonies?
colinize mars?
Reality, then death, then peace and quiet.
Story of my life.the stars are out of our reach
there is no atmosphere on Mars
nor is there a magnetic field to keep the radiation form space from frying you
a self sufficient 'space colony' is far outside our current technological grasp
sorry the romanticism of space is over
TOL's killer asteroid could end us but that's not going to happen until the year
3962 and long before that we will have colonized many other worlds and developed
the technology to tractor beam the rock off course and save the planet so he'll be disappointed (yet again)
I am not willing to consign myself to the grave or succumb to despair just yet.

I believe it's extremely important.
NASA Administrator Charles Bolden said in a recent interview that his "foremost" mission as the head of America's space exploration agency is to improve relations with the Muslim world.
Though international diplomacy would seem well outside NASA's orbit, Bolden said in an interview with Al Jazeera that strengthening those ties was among the top tasks President Obama assigned him. He said better interaction with the Muslim world would ultimately advance space travel.

This is modern America. It's probably too much to ask for better Tang and diapers.Industrial polymers and alloys, renewable energy sources, advanced military weapon systems, advancement in aerodynamic design and engineering, etc.

In the reviews I liked this part:Because you're tired of life?
I have the perfect book for you. One of my favorites. God's War: Bel Dame Apocrypha Really, it's not a trap.
