[Story Musgrave] “[The Space Station] does nothing for nobody and it never has,” he says. “The cost of space station is 300 Voyager-class satellites. We could have had multiple Voyagers landed or floating in the atmosphere on every planet and on every moon of every planet. That is what we gave up when we went with a jobs program, which is what the space station is. And that’s an ungodly sin. And yes, I’m a human space flight person, but listen to me. That’s what we could have offered the public.”
Keith’s note: Oh well. So much for the notion that a whole bunch of college degrees and lots of trips into outer space automatically makes you enlightened.
