Remind me again what the Space Shuttle was all about. Remind me again what the International Space Station is all about. Remind me again why we had to send like, 150 men and women into space on incredibly risky missions, losing 17 of them in the process, (plus maybe countless others to overwork, stress, suicide, accidents).
What do we have to show for it? An already obsolete assembly of space junk orbiting the earth doing exactly . . . what? Can YOU name a single thing the Space Station is doing to benefit mankind RIGHT AT THIS MOMENT?
It isn't even half-completed and it's already a useless pile of junk. Remember Skylab? Mir? Didn't think so. Oh yeah, Velcro got invented! We got that from the space program, right? Nope. It was invented right here on earth. Advances in medicine!!! Yes, we know that mice can have sex upside-down.
Star Trek will always just be a television show. There'll never be a Mars mission and if there is they'll find a way to fuck it up. Twenty years of space shuttles and not even a T-shirt to show for it.
