Question: How do you feel about the end of the NASA Space Shuttle Program? How do you think this will affect mankind's efforts to establish a research base on another planet or satellite?
It was sad but not the end of good space research. We talked about this in the live chat, but for anyone browsing check out the Skylon project. Amazing UK based Space Plane.
It looks like a really exciting time for space travel to me. I’m thinking about SpaceShipOne, Blue Origin and all these other groups that are racing to commercialise their programs. Feels quite exciting, and I imagine what it might have been like when air travel first became a commonplace thing.
