The particular kind of "faith" I was ranting about is the inappropriate substitution of faith for reason. Government and engineering programs should be run according to the facts, not faith. That doesn't mean that I think that space exploration can't have religious significance to people, including participants like the crew of Apollo 8.
The reference to Libertarians-advocating-a-spacefaring-civilization-while-supporting-Republicans was a little too pointed a reference for you to not take personally. It's not that I don't disapprove of what I might charitably call schizophrenia, but having beaten you up about this before and knowing that your answer will be that you don't support Bush/Republicans 100%, only 51%, which is 51% more than you support Democrats...knowing the answer and asking anyway makes it a bit like hectoring, and for that I apologize.
Space/Science » in reply to Forgotten Apollo 8's broadcast kind of quick, didn't we?
