^^Thanks, I agree it was always this way.
I do think politics do not understand completely how important space exploration is, how the developed techniques do help al humans on this planet, on future planets.
The 60ties were great because of the race to the moon competition, the Space Shuttle really never delivered its promise.
So between 1972 (last man on the moon), there is 46 years with no really determined goal. Yes we have satellites everywhere in the universe and exploring. But we have to go ourselves, like Columbus discovering the America`s, we need to explore space.
I`m aware of US plans now for bringing mankind to Mars in the 2030-40 range, and I`m really hoping they wil get the job done. If someone can, it will be the US.
