Having said all that though, the amounts of money we are talking about is simply obscene condsidering the poverty in the world. It's a funny old world, that's for sure. [/QUOTE]I dont mind the money being spent on mars trips and Hubble, its money well spent IMO. I just think that they aint learning anything new in,and i can not see any currant reason for, the (new) space station. The sending rockets from a space station is so faaaaaarrrrrr away still and poses more problems than it raises. The easier path is to make the payload smaller (and unmanned) for future missions to the planets.
