Sad to say this news item was soundly ridiculed on Boston sports/news/talk radio this AM with comments about what rest home was Aldrin in etc. Snide comments about sports/news/talk radio aside, it does reflect what some segments of the VOTING public think. Regardless of the viability and merits (I am a skeptic) of this particular scheme, the public views space exploration as Star Trek TV stuff not something to actually be DONE in the physical real world.
