Never liked to read science fiction, and never wanted to fly to other
planets. Have all the fun I can find flying this one.

I just think there are better uses for our tax dollars than shooting humans
into space for fun.

It is so annoying to read the posts by you Buck Rogers wannabe's on this
board. You are all so enthralled by the space program you can't see just
how
pointless and useless it is.

Don't you have the least inkling to want to fly to the other planets?

We have to start with basic physics.

Sadly, though, there are no new avenues to that other than pure brain
power, which is NASA's best attribute.
