Thanks Stephen for an honest answer (and I am not being sarcastic, truly thanks). I am sure 99% of IIS members and Australians share this view. I just read that the first Italian woman will be in space in 2014 as part of the ESA astronaut program. I wondered if Australia would ever be a partner in such endeavours or in space exploration but it is a pipe dream. I think I have an answer now.
