The kind of arrogant attitude you project with statements like "astronaut
groupies" and implying that pro-manned space people call finaciers "Bean
counters"  makes me discount your arguments.  I am neither a groupie or a name
caller.   Did you know name calling went out in elementry school.

Sooner or later we will need to move man into space.  I think it will take us a
long time to learn how to do that.  We need to continue learning, so that when
the affordable launchs systesm arrive, man knows his limitations in space.
