The bias and prejudice that keep women out of IT could be said to be an informal quota system for men. That too should lead to an inferior product.

This isn't about physics or suspension of belief, really. It's about how nothing can live up to the old movies, because they're heavily steeped in nostalgia.

I see two problems here.

Why cut back space programs instead of, say, military spending or bank bailouts? A fraction of either would put humans on Mars and probes on Jovian moons, and a little more cutbacks we'll have us solving climate change as well..

Also, there will always be a promising new propulsion system on the horizon. When you've built a VASIMIR engine, there will be antimatter propulsion, and then some space-bending engine, and then an Infinite Improbability Drive. When do you stop tinkering and simply get your ass to Mars?

I suggest we rename Uranus to something that will to end that stupid joke once and for all.

People can't stomach it because of the waste of life and resources, which in the end accomplishes nothing but the installation of another despot.

The latest developments in the Middle East will hopefully be the final nail in the coffin of you war mongers.
