As much as I think space travel is cool, I don't think NASA is where we should be dumping our money. I'd like to see some commercial space programs (besides the satellite guys) get off of the ground.

NASA missions are nearly all scientifically motivated. If there were commercial programs that could turn a profit from solar power, mining, etc. we'd be a lot closer to an actual space age. A man on Mars is a nice idea, but seed grants for Lunar or asteroid mining technology seem more practical to me.

Especially in light of <a href="http://www.space.com/scienceastronomy/hubble_special_040116.html">this</a>.

If we can get a man to Mars, get him back, and keep him alive for the whole round trip it would definitly help as far as asteroid mining goes. What I am really waiting for is a high powered railgun.
