<div>I think it is safe to say most people no longer look to space as the final<br>frontier. We now set our sights on inner space, cyber space and thought<br>space. Ultimately I think interplanetary space will be the future abode of<br>
our mind children, but not humans in our current form. We take up too much<br>space and have too much material hanging all over us which doesn't do much<br>of anything useful.<br>>>></div>

<div>"Oh ye of little faith..." ; ) I think we are just in a holding pattern until we develop the mature materials technology necessary to build a space elevator. And then we can get a pound of something into space for $50 dollars, instead of $100,000 dollars! The era of space industralization and colonization will finally be upon us! And Spike can finally stop moping... heehee</div>
