Excellent. However, I've gone off space. I watched Carl Sagan's Cosmos, and
own a couple of his books. They are great. However, IMHO we need the
research on earth now.

There has been a LOT less money spent studying the bottom of our own oceans
than has been spent on studying the surface of our moon.

Hard science on stuff right here should be what excites people in the next
fifty years. There's a lot to do.
