You have correctly identified Dr. Van Allen as one of the
"big name" scientists who oppose manned space flight. He has
spoken against both the space shuttle and the space station.

For a history of a scientist who started out against the
space shuttle and switched sides, read Dr. Brian O'Leary's
"Project Space Station." Dr. O'Leary is now one of the
foremost advocates of the space station.

The time has come to ask: What do we need more - scientists studying
the atmosphere of Titan or scientists developing resources in space
for Earthly benefit?

I'd love to have both, but ...

Speaking for himself,
