you crazy Italian <VBG> What do you expect to find? "

When I compare that to some of the other wondrous projects my tax dollars go
for, it just seems like a helluva good deal to me.

> Additionally, when one considers multiple aspects of space
exploration/utilization, a better appreciation can be had in regard to what
has been realized in less than 50 years. (Yes, it is STILL less than 50
years since the first man-made object was lofted into space in the autumn of
1957!) Virtually all major expansions of the human race have been
accompanied by fits and starts, 2 steps forward and 1 step back, trying one
thing and if it doesn't work, try something else, etc. Exploration is,
essentially by definition, "going where no man has gone before," and there
is, again by definition, no roadmap of how to get there. I could write reams
on this subject, but it has already been done by many with more talent in
that direction than I have.
