I, for one, agree with this conclusion. However, it seems unfair
that Dr. Van Allen, among others, seems to want to dismiss
space colonization because it doesn't fit in with his Planetary
Science Now mindset. I would like to see vigorous programs
carried out in >>both<< these areas. Internal bickering about
which is more important will tend only to confuse those that
hold the purse-strings, leading to insufficient funding in
both areas. "United we stand; divided we fall," and all that.
