It regularly impresses me how cheep computer power is these days. To get to the moon in 1969 they used computers less powerful than a comadore 64 (a whole 64k or ram - wow). At this point I have to ask - what great achievements have I made with my computer - a 1.6GHz P4 which I can carry around (however if somebody wants to give me billions of dollars worth of funding I'm sure I could find a way to spend it).
As a side note, I think it's great that president bush has decided to go to the moon/mars, the $1 billion investment will be well worth while - if he stays there.
