What humans want is freedom

Raoul — 2/27/2008 6:26:23 PM (archived)

Traveling for so long in an enclosed place is like being in prison.

We love space because of the amount of things to discover, because of the voyages.....

However, if nothing much can happen for a long time in an enclosed place,then it's anything but freedom!

This is in large part why I prefer the Moon to NEOs or Mars.
