That's basically what I was thinking. I adore reading about the Apollo program, because what it accomplished was simply amazing. I can hardly believe we managed to DO that so long ago, but we did.

We could do so much more now, but we're not. I hope this goes towards a change, not towards a death... because losing the chance to go into space would be an insult to the men and women who passed away in their explorations.
