Re: [Utah-astronomy] NASA's plan to return to the moon

No devils nor advocacy here, but I agree with Michael, who wrote, "I'm delighted to see the human space program go back to moving humans and the cargo business go back to unmanned rockets." Here, here. Let's see if the politicians can leave it that way. I'd still like to see the ISS drop into the sea. Which reminds me, no one has answered my question: Just exactly what purpose is the ISS supposed to serve, besides justifying jobs, politicians' rhetoric, and the infamous STS? My memory is far from perfect, but I can't recall a single bit of science being reported that was grounded in experiments done aboard the ISS. Anyone? Kim
