Gee, Alan, you mentioned Jon as representing NSBRI, why omit the fact that all of these fliers were representing ASE (who was responsible for organizing the sessions and arranging astronaut participation?).

That sounds like a good idea, Andy ... I'll revise the item to add that angle. Sorry about the oversignt, and thanks for the note.

Thanks, Alan! Saw you there, meant to introduce myself/us, but next thing I knew, it was over and I was home already. Next time...

What a waste of money!!We need to stop all of this space "crap" and focus on spending our (mine and yours), resources on "fixing" mother earth.

Cultural note: The skylab was built during the cold war, and so had a shower. Now that the Russians are our friends, we don't need a shower? Or is that they were in charge of the design for the crews quarters and so didn't share our priorities on personal hygiene? I have never understood the need for showers or the American fear of body odor and I'm born and raised here.

To those who would think this is a waste of money, consider the invaluable experience and technology we are getting as a result of these seemingly silly endeavors. Don't be so shortsighted.

Dan O'Meara,

Next time you think of all of us "wasting our time" in space just realize that:

If we (Americans) don't do it, someone else will and they will reap the rewards that come from the new technology that comes from going into space.

And, not going into space, to The Moon or Mars or beyond ask youself this:

What if Christopher Columbus decided NOT to voyage to the New World? What if no one did?

In his book "Riding Rockets," Former Shuttle astronaut Mike Mullane gives an in-depth (maybe too in depth) description of the "rendezvous and docking trainer."

"What if Christopher Columbus decided NOT to voyage to the New World? What if no one did? "

People obviously DID voyage to the New World... Where you think the native people of the Americas came from???

Columbus may have been the 1st European to reach the New World, but he wasn't the 1st human.
