Unlike Mlee I do not have a vested interest in the shuttle program. I agree with numerous renouned scientists that the mannned program does not provide good sound science. It is not cost efficient. Unmanned can give us much more return with our limited funds. Just because so many folks like Mlee get a woody over their " Star Wars" fettish with space exploration, is no reason for us as a nation to be irresponsible! We need every penny we can get to expand the knowledge of Mental illness. Sure if your illness is so mild and easily treated your likely to be cavalier and think things are good enough as they are. I have'nt been so lucky along with millions of others. We are many but so impaired we are mostly silent. Unlike the loud mouthed proponates of manned space. Think of all the people who have perished from these illnesses. Our understanding of mental illness is a national scandal.
