I don't know... everything he said makes great sense. More so than that, it really provides a glimmer of hope. Prior to reading the article, I felt it would one day be impossible for us to actually reach the stars. But now, stars just don't seem so far away. And the problems with the space shuttle falling apart, well epoxy has gotten a lot better in the last few years. I'm gonna make it to the stars, don't know what'll happen when I hit those little points of light, but hey, I'll at least know I went up.

P.S.
The article reminded me of one of my favorite movie scenes, when Truman actually touched the horizon. Fantastic
