The Luddite legions are on the march.
Over the course of the past several days, I've seen on tv and read in print scores of people condemning Bush's plan. Here's a story from CNN.
"No firm cost estimates have been developed, but informal discussions have put the cost of a Mars expedition at nearly $1 trillion, depending on how ambitious the project was. The cost of a moon colony, again, would depend on what NASA wants to do on the lunar surface."
$1 Trillion??? Where did they get that number from?
