question of the weekend: The space shuttle program is over, NASA’s budget is getting slashed: what’s the next big thing in space?
I feel that unless the U.S. realigns its priorities away from endless war and back toward science and exploration, it’s over as a spacefaring nation. The 21st century in space will be Chinese, I suspect: I bet they’ll put a man (and probably a woman) on Mars by 2025.
