I tend to agree. It would be different if we actually had the collective balls to DO something... like go to Mars, or go to one of the moons around Jupiter. But, no, we put a multibillion dollar hunk of aluminum up in space that does little more than go in circles with a very illdefined set of goals. Kind of like Coumbus lookinf out across the Atlantic, but seeing a set of rocky islands and just going there and setting up colonies. Big phucking deal. Back then, and in the 60's, folks had balls AND a tolerance for failure. And it did a lot of good. Now, all we seem to do is to figure out how to redistribute wealth. Not a recipe for success or advancement.
