Poll 38 to 6 in favor of continuing. Motion carried, manned exploration of space will continue. :mrgreen:
Seriously, are none of you opposers excited about the idea of a new frontier to colonize? If not for yourself and your kids, for your grandkids or great-great's?
Sure. But being excited about the idea of a new frontier is not a sufficient justification for the enormous pricetag associated with manned missions to other worlds, for which the taxpayers get nothing in return.
There will indeed be a new space frontier to colonize. I just question why we need to colonize it right now.
