Re: [Utah-astronomy] The demise of manned space flight?

What people are really worried about is the possible lack of a manned program during our lifetimes. Even if we stopped completely now, we'll go back eventually, if we don't kill ourselves off first. Think of what humanity- heck, just the USA could do in space- if we didn't spend most of our money on defense and lawyers. "We are a young species, and full of promise." -- Carl Sagan
