[Kip Lange]

Manned space flight is an anachronism.

Manned space flight is the collective future and collective dream of humanity. Would that we were all forced to view Earthrise for some perspective on the insignificance of all of our petty concerns. Manned space flight *transcends*.

[Man of the Right]

It isn't worth bankrupting society to provide test pilots interesting craft to fly.

There's no support for NASA in society because it's irrelevant. Cyberspace matters. With the exception of earth satellites, physical space doesn't.
