Justin -

I think the reason why ISS is not exciting is that its been under attack by certain space "enthusiasts" for a long time now...

Their idea is that if they kill ISS, and kill the Shuttle, NASA (or more precisely the government) will take the money "saved" by these items and fly men to Mars... I know it sounds crazy, but then of course it is... Take a look at Gary's comments on ISS, for instance, where he keeps on talking about Mars...
along with his claims about the ISS being nothing new, and his claims about there being no science...

The bottom line is that if these "spaced enthusiasts" succeed, if ISS and the Shuttle go down now, there will be no manned flight to Mars within your lifetime -
