[QUOTE]Originally posted by OnToMars: [QB] I don't really have anything useful to add to this. But I must reply. I can only hope that the eventual outcome of this, ten/twenty years from now is that we will have gotten on with the business of perpetuating civilization. Which includes pioneering space. NASA like's it's "Right Stuff" image and doesn't want to do anything to damage it like sending up ordinary (more or less) people up there. That translates into very real discouragements of private industry in space. I fear now that NASA has yet another excuse, and a very powerful one, to keep the average person from space. Perhaps the patriotism will last for ten/twenty years. If history is any indication, it will last the generation until or children ask us why we care so much about the flag. Patriotism translates into support for the space program. Perhaps the money that is now being thrown around to combat the current crisis will make people realize that government money actually needs to be [i]put[/i] somewhere and [i]used[/i]. Perhaps that somewhere will include the space program. There are a lot of perhaps there, and I am much less optimistic than I normally like to be, but at this point, I can only hope. [/QB][/QUOTE]
