@trixapete November is the next hill of us here in the States, both congressional and the white house. I hope I can take my country back, and you yours, because the alternatives are scary as hell.

You are of course correct.
Reminds me of the quote - "all that has to happen for evil to prevail is for good men to do nothing".
More applicable to the islamification of Britain than in this context however.

@trixapete Because to give up is worse than to be ignored. Good people have to keep trying, even if the prospects appear hopeless because you never know what is over the next hill.

@trixapete We are, and we will.

Manned exploration is inspiring however money would be better spent in furthering the development of nano-tubes for the much desired space-elevator and/or reviving the HARP/Martlet project with a new 'barbados-gun' situated in europe.

@GuitarCarbon He's not criticising space exploration: he's criticising the EU for USING it "as a virility symbol". In other words, he thinks they are politicizing what should be a purely scientific endeavour, and at the expense of what politicians SHOULD be doing, namely increasing liberty, and thereby all kinds of free enterprise, leading to prosperity.

It's also a good way to hide money. I don't object to exploring space but I can't get the idea of how easy a program it is for all involved that it is also a good avenue to hide where the money goes. Like you said the Ballot box floating up there in space. How would the ordinary person down here looking up confirm any proper funds usage. I have lost all trust in those who have so much power. I didn't hold to much to begin with but over the past decade it's all gone.
