Yes, there's a tremendous amount that we could learn from space travel, but what guarantee is there that it will improve any of the issues that plague society? Would it be more responsible to spend that money on, say, basic education and health care than on something as nebulous (no pun intended) as the study of outer space?<br /><br />I'm certainly not claiming to have any concrete answers to those questions, but I can't help but wonder when I read about this subject.KaliDurgahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13218716336939570814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34952281.post-55200281675505265172010-04-13T06:49:23.253-07:002010-04-13T06:49:23.253-07:00Every time I see a rabbit run across the road, I s...Every time I see a rabbit run across the road, I see a kindred spirit.

Yet another example of how "progress" overshadows the basic methods upon which it's based.<br /><br />I'm one of those who has mixed feelings about space travel, but there's no way anyone could not admire the men who lived through this particular mission.KaliDurgahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13218716336939570814noreply@blogger.com
