And then Mars!
Can you believe how many people on TV have been actually insulting this plan? Yeesh, apparently everyone is happy with things the way they are and don't exactly WANT progress. "What exactly are we getting out of this?" Gee I wonder! They are even criticizing the original moon landing! (Just a tad better than questioning if it happened at least.) They are wondering what we ever got out of THAT. Yeesh, the number of discoveries that have fueled new inventions is extremely huge! It's not just frickin' tefflon!
Makes ya wonder what the point of even inventing stuff is if everyone is just going to sit around criticizing it from it's inception to long after it's completion, but like the hypocrites they are they'll use the very items they think are causing the downfall of civilization.
Sorry, just a tad venty right now :D.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
