A great note/quote from Brent Simmons. I agree wholeheartedly with everything that he says here, with my own usual catchphrase "We were violently robbed of our deserved space age"
I’m not a fan of George Bush. But if he proposes a mission to Mars in his state of the Union speech—as the Guardian reports he may do—then I still won’t be a fan of George Bush, but I’ll be hugely excited about the mission to Mars.
It’s time to do it. We’re way behind on space travel. [inessential.com]
