I have to agree that I've been very disappointed with NASA's handling of the
space program.  At this point, I don't think I'd protest if future funding
were strictly limited to unmanned scientific missions.  I could see where
man-in-space would be useful if we were attempting very large projects that
had to be launched in pieces and assembled in space, but the only project I
hear about like that is the space station itself.

Of course, there's a certain amount of romance in manned missions, but I
really don't think that's worth what it costs.
