The kind of arrogant attitude you project with statements like "astronaut groupies" and implying that pro-manned space people call finaciers "Bean counters" makes me discount your arguments. I am neither a groupie or a name caller. Did you know name calling went out in elementry school. Sooner or later we will need to move man into space. I think it will take us a long time to learn how to do that. We need to continue learning, so that when the affordable launchs systesm arrive, man knows his limitations in space. -- Mike Kent - Lockheed Engineering and Sciences Company at NASA JSC 2400 NASA Rd One, Houston, TX 77058 (713) 483-3791 KENT@vf.jsc.nasa.gov
