I must agree with Robert Bruccoleri's objections to the Technology Review
article about a manned mission to Mars.  The shorted sightedness of the
so-called space-scientists has always annoyed me, since it is one of the
few serious divisions among the space enthusiasts.  However, I haven't
really worried about it until this recent message reminded me that the
President's science advisor Keyworth has chastized NASA for not being
sufficiently visionary.  I have some faith that the NASA administrators
will not fail us in this matter it is worth thinking about.

In anycase it is probably worth writing a few letters to Technology Review
to let them and their readers know that not everyone thinks that Mars is
the obvious next step.

	Cheers,
