Nigeria and India only send up those dinky satellites. That's useful for them, but it isn't exploration.

I don't personally care if we send robots into outer space at all if we don't intend to go out there ourselves. )))

Ourselves? You mean a proxy, in the form of a celebrity? The whole arrangement is infantile.

I don't know, really, how to address your uninterest in space...I had been given to understand in your previous posts that you had an interest in science.

It does speak to my contention that a purported interest in science and exploration is just a cover for the excitement factor in "riding."

an interest in science

Space exploration has contributed little to science and less to philosophy.
