re: re: The Unmanned versus Manned fallacy
I think we're on the same wavelength concerning this issue. It is clear that human space flight trapped in Low Earth Orbit is not interesting. This is why the ISS was doomed almost from day one to become an expensive white elephant. I remember when the ISS or Alpha was first proposed. It was supposed to be a floating dry dock for launching manned missions to the Moon and Mars. That was a worthwhile objective! I am reminded of the old cliche: "The road to hell is paved with good intentions".
