I've been careful not to "flame" Henry, although it's hard not to
sometimes. I prefer to look at our accomplishments. We have many. I would
like to see more happening too, but that also takes time and money. We've
got a rather unique probe on the way to Venus, one to Neptune and one
will be on the way to Jupiter in September. Come December, the Space Shuttle
will place the Hubble Space Telescope into orbit opening up the solar system
and Universe a few orders of magnitude. Although the telescope is late,
we've been able to make improvements to it and fix some problems it's had
in the interim. We've got the Canadarm integrated into the Shuttles. How
about Canada and the United States integrating in a team effort to send
something to Mars? Share the cost? Or is that asking too much.
