...well you've gotta wonder sbout some of these posters and if they listen to anything other than NPR or CNN. There's absolutely no sense of history or perspective (how many of the original astronauts had "hard core flight time" and why would that be an essential requirement for a mission specialist?) and no knowledge of the present (Paz- try googling "Kobi" and tell us how someone built that thing and got it up there without using ability, talent, intuition and skill).

Hahahahaaa!!! I have worked on NASA projects, I did research using data from a NASA probe (which ran over time, over budget, and under system requirements...), I was funded by NASA grants for 4 years, and I have worked on (meaning, turning wrenches) 50 year old NASA equipment, which still runs. Don't tell me that I have no perspective on what that boondoggle government agency can or cannot do these days, I know quite well. NASA could not currently put a man on the Moon in 10 years. Privateers could, NASA could if they literally turned over 90% of their current administration and personnel, but not the way they are now.
