It does baffling me sometimes that we went from the manned exploration of space to what seems like the exploitation of space with a side of un manned exploration.
I mean the man walking on the moon was more then just a scientific mission, it was in a sense what felt like a moral booster and the first step in man really pushing himself to explore his neighbourhood.
When I was just a wee lad we talked about things like sending a man to mars. colonization bases on the moon, we talked about the advancement of rocketry and were excited about the possibility of the shuttle and its ability to be reused.
It almost feels like we just stopped.
I mean the robotics thing is cool, little cars roving the surface of mars. Hi Def photo's of other planets and moons.
But it just feels like we're under achieving.
