| Yes, Steve, (and rez) I agree that much of the talent is gone. And much of the reason that we went to the moon in the first place is also gone. Most if not all of the early space program was prompted by military concerns. Are we now lulled into a complacent stupor much as we were in the 50's when sputnik announced that we were a 2nd rate technological power, and just Maybe a 2nd rate military power?
Oh well ,maybe north Korea and or China will hail us form plains Mars to again awake, as one warlord called us, the sleeping giant. If that should happen, I would wish that they dont call collect, or with a nuke.
