NASA Shifts

So what now? Forget human space exploration? Uh? Make robots? What should I get revved up over now?

I think I'm starting to understand why companies around here, and people for that matter, lose their vision, grow cynical, hole up, go their own direction and make money.

I can see that growing a business would be exciting and a long term personal accomplishment. You could at least have an internal goal of success as the political climate gyrates, fads come and go.

If success is making a good place for people to collaborate, where all can make a decent living... and go out comfortable, I suppose that is what it is. At least that could be real and not completely horrible, although it gives me the sudden urge to upchuck black slugs in a vomit bin.

Art is a healthy outlet for that climate. It's probably only a symptom, not anything in itself. I actually don't believe that - I got hope :)
