John Glenn:

John Glenn, the first American to orbit the Earth, believes the nation should complete and fully maximize the international space station before dashing anywhere else.

What planet is this guy on? How could a former astronaut advocate wasting more time and money on the space station instead of a return to real space exploration? I smell a rat somewhere.

The entire fox article was pretty negative. What's with this Stanford guy they quote in the beginning of the article?

"The cost of a manned enclave on the moon, I think, is going to make the space station look cheap. That's the only good thing about it," said Stanford University's Douglas Osheroff.

In any event, "I think we're still 30 years from going to Mars and if there's any reason to do that, I don't know," Osheroff said.

Yeah, it's obvious YOU DON'T KNOW. So talk about something you do know about or shut the hell up!
