... what a bunch of pampered wusses this generation has become.

Our ancestors were tough and did what they had to do to survive
and make things better for their children.

They didn't get on Internet chats and list all the bad things that
could go wrong.

Once we were men....

I hope that space reignites that new pioneer spirit and sense of
true adventure for the next generation.
