The ultimate survival of the human species depends on us getting some of our eggs out of this one basket and out into a permanent presence in space. The moon, Mars, the asteroids, the LaGrange points -- even beyond, someday.This should not be a partisan thing at all.
It's very simple. We have to do this.
Not because it is easy..but because it is hard. Humans need to be challenged and constantly.
Look at science fiction from the '50s, written by scientists like Robert Heinlein. We were supposed to have moon colonies by now.
What happened? Our future was stolen.
