Enough is ENOUGH!!!
Frankly, I for one, am BORED TO DEATH of funding NASA's expensive, myopic *HOBBIES* - The time has arrived for return to a *REAL* space program! Manned orbiters just don't cut it!!!
I miss the Apollo program - and I ain't even all that old ;)
As to the 'Mars program'? - A *great* concept but way too protracted for my taste (and, I venture, that of those whom must be 'brought on board' is said effort to be realized)
Flame away if you'll must, however I *know* some will see merit in my (ever so humble) words...
Sincerely if wanly
Dan Sarandon
