He was advertising looking for India. Would have gotten there too if those continents hadn't been in the way.
The point is early exploration of unknowns is often frowned on. Hell I'd rather see spaceships than some of the other stupid shit the government does. At least investing in science pays off. _________________ "I won't insult your intelligence by suggesting that you really believe what you just said." - William Buckley, Jr. "...steam, artillery and revolvers give to civilized man an irresistible power." -Perry Collins |

Can we man the ships with Demorats? Our AG and Pramila Jayapal look like they would get along swell.

I'm all for anything leading to manned exploration of space, especially Mars. At the rate we're overpopulating, we're going to need to look at off-planet colonization inside the next couple hundred years (and that's assuming nothing else happens to make our planet less viable more quickly). Mars is our closest and most likely candidate. Nuff said.
