One of the tragedies of the ever-present debate about whether public monies should be spent on space exploration is the notion that human activity in space is somehow disconnected from our lives on Earth. If you've heard my speeches or read my articles and Op-Ed's, you know how strongly I stand against this. Most of the time I refer to the very practical issues of resources, energy, and environment, but there is more to human existence. The eighth-century Buddhist saint Shantideva understood our very human connection with space. May I be a protector to those without protection,
There is a reason that some of us are compelled to reach for the stars. |
