In reply to JIm Spahr.

That is the most beautiful comment I have ever received on my blog. I just want to say a big thank you for saying that. I have seen a lot of silly comments and I let them go through to show there’s still a lot of work to be done here. I’m a huge space advocate and love what Alyssa is doing and makes me want to keep writing and hopefully get at least one person excited about astronomy or space again.

First let me say that Altssa restores my faith in the human spirit. I watched the moon landings, even knowing they were political victories rather than scientific endeavors, I was thrilled because I knew the door was now open. There is no possible way that we will simply “forget” that we have the ability to explore our solar system, and ultimately, our galaxy.
For the woeful comments I’ve seen in this section decrying NASA and space exploration in general, I have only disgusted pity. Are these people so short-sighted that they can’t see all of the benefits that NASA has brought us? I won’t list them here, they’re far too numerous. If you don’t know, google it!
Humans will always move on, explore and travel however far and as long as we must to satisfy our desire to see, to learn, to experience personally what we don not yet know. This is the true human spirit, not the shut-in, isolationist views presented by those too blind to see.
If you think space travel is a crazy, dangerous, counter-productive exercise, then don’t go. Stay here and rot for all I care. I’m too old now to be on any upcoming Mars trip, but my heart and my dreams will be with them.

In reply to Me.

Firstly, I would like to know the costs associated with participating in such activities.

I’m sure the travel, lodging, and additional expenses must have added up. I think it’s a bit outrageous that we are so amazed by a person who has obviously enjoyed many advantages.

Second of all, NASA is a joke. The expense base they have in 10 times more than India and China’s programs put together. So much waste!

Reality check: We’re not going to Mars. There’s no US space program 15 years from now. There’s REAL science to be done here that doesn’t involve flakey people doing wildely expensive and wasteful things in the name of some wistful dream of “going to the stars”.
