We have to get kids excited - emotional - about science, and they need to feel like they can be part of the adventure. I worked at the National Air and Space Museum for 8 years, walking by Columbia, and the Spirit of St. Louis, and the Wright Flyer each morning. I know what we are capable of achieving. I know that the 100,000 that built Apollo were children once that dared to dream. I know that history is not ancient. It is alive and well, and one can jump in at an time and take the human race where we've never been. Education is the answer. As you, I've decided to dedicate a serious chunk of time to making a difference. My humble approach - Blog on the Universe - which launched May 19, 2009. Take a look at http://blogontheuniverse.org Read about this Blog, and look at the resource pages on The Nature of Our Existence, the National Air and Space Museum, and pages on the Crisis in Science and Technology Education. Reciprocal links maybe? See my Friends of the Blog page.

As NASA always say,"Failure is not a option" Humans can encounter failures along the way but we can also learn from those failures. I say we fund more from NASA.Increase its budget by more than $10 Billion rather than its current $1.2 Billion. I want to be a Astronaut someday..go to the Moon,Mars and beyond.! I am 17 years old and I learned a lot about NASA,Space Program of other countries,Astronomy and etc... SO LETS GO BACK TO THE MOON..BUILD A BASE THERE..GO TO MARS AND BEYOND.. I agree with you!

If people watch the video they'll hear the old guy referencing Columbus even though he didn't say his name. That's exactly what I've always thought - we need to take the risk to explore the unknown and hopefully dumb luck will help us prevail. If we as humans don't continue to explore other places, or worlds I feel we might hit a giant brick wall in the realm of technological advancement. Sure our processing power is doubling over and over again a extraordinary rate, but if we don't put that power to use what good will it do? At this point we've explored the vast majority of our world, save for the deepest parts of the ocean and some remote parts of the polls. While we should keep exploring our world we need to take off now and go somewhere else. It does suck that we haven't been to the moon since 1972, but at least we've learned a lot about long term space missions through Mir, the Shuttle program and the ISS. These last 30 years of research, even with a couple of tragedy's have been incredibly positive. Now, it's going to be a long 6 years until we can see Orion take off, but man I can't wait for that to happen! Great post – I couldn’t agree more.
