re: Same arguments for space, 50 years apart! - Exactly, Jeff.
I'm glad Mr. Michael Griffin finally said something in that vein.
Public support comes by understanding and education. He also seems to be aware of the fact that some get the space bug/interest and some don't. Fifteen cents a days is pennies.
I agree with Jeff. I can't get the butterflies in me to settle down whenever I read, hear or see anything space related.
