With the success of Pioneer beyond its wildest imaginings, I'm really hoping NASA continues to look 'onward and upward' and not continue with everyday, uninteresting missions. If there's one thing we've really missed out on, those of us alive today, it's the space race of the 60s, when everything seemed new and exciting. And I think we should bring those ideas back.
Or maybe I just feel this way because I saw Robert Zubrin (president of the Mars Society) at PSU last weekend, and thought, "You know what? This guy's absolutely right." - their idea *would* work, and it'd be a 10th the price of NASA's 'plan'.
