Personally, I want to see man in space however I believe unmanned exploration is the best economical and most practical solution.

Each has its place, but you get what you pay for.

Really, we need launcher technology to mature, and private industry has to do that. And I don't mean the quasi-governmental entities that the big aerospace companies have become.

Once going to orbit is cheaper and more available, the cost of manned exploration will drop drastically.

Unmanned will always be cheaper, but you get a lot more from true manned exploration.

Yeah like the "bailouts", the WIC program, AFDC, foodstamps, welfare checks for having children the poor can't afford to support, the student aid program, housing programs and all of the other giva-a-way programs that Americans are getting ripped off to pay for. And then there is the eight billion bucks to the ACORN, the Democrat Party's favorite organized crime group.
