I have been watching in awe the achievements of space exploration and also in dismay in the reduction of funding over my 40 odd years.
We (as a population) are so transfixed on today and what we can get out of it and bugger tomorrow - hard but true!
The one point I always make to the people that poo poo space exploration and their perceived cost / return opinion - we are going to need a place to live one day!
