[QUOTE]Originally posted by Timo: [QB] Me, I want the exact opposite. Never stop to think about the necessity of space exploration. Because if you do, you'll never start to move forward again. There *is* no necessity for space exploration, not in the short term. It's all an investment in the far future. And "reasonable" people never invest in the far future. If the shuttles are too much to manage, let's develop an American space capsule that rides an Atlas V. A craft that's nothing more than a stunt to keep America in space, possibly not even on par with the Souyzes. Let's pretend it is "necessary" for keeping the ISS manned, an endeavor that itself is "necessary" only in the loosest sense. Let's keep on doing things like the Pathfinder crawler, things that are far more primitive and less ambitious than what was done in the seventies, but serve to keep the space program alive and to give it an aura of importance. Let's make space routinely accessible and accessed before it's made safe or profitable. Timo Saloniemi [/QB][/QUOTE]
