The voice-over sounds a lot like a Republican (or substitute Democrat) campaign ad. Here's a question for friendly debate: Has human exploration hit a wall with space? Maybe it is simply not possible, and won't be for generations, if ever, to go any further than we have. I don't mean robotic probes, as I think they have really given NASA the best "bang for the buck," and I believe that part of space exploration certainly can and should continue. But human exploration? Perhaps technology has also reached its limit and will never overcome the immense barriers to further human exploration beyond near space (earth orbit and/or lunar exploration - maybe). Thoughts?
