Re: Good fantasies die hard
Yes, I know, Ed.
It's a matter of choosing the priorities, I suppose.
Before landing on the Moon, that was the goal and it was extremely romantic, even though it really meant beating the Soviets.
Preserving mankind from impact and extinction can also be considered a priority and somehow more argumentative than going to Mars just for the sake of exploration.
Cheap Access To Space is also a good argument for a space priority.
And what about the means or the goal....But anyway, we can still dream.
