Re: It depends on our will
I'm one who's frustrated by 30 years of LEO merry-go-round missions.
The space community and the public needs to remember that every year more people die trying to climb Mt Everest than in the Columbia fireball. NASCAR. Whatever. And no "science" to rationalize those losses against.
If we're that concerned about loss of valuable human life, let's just send up Broncos fans.
