For all the nay-sayers who say we should abandon manned space flight as "too dangerous:

"If you can't take a little bloody nose, maybe you ought to go home and crawl under your bed. It's not safe out here. It's wondrous; with treasures to satiate desires both subtle and gross. But it's not for the timid."

Q was remarkably intelligent for an arrogant alien sort. No guts, no glory! I remember the early space programs and seeing the first orbited flight. I was telling my 5 year old how exciting it was to see that and Neil Armstrong walking on the moon. I was talking to her about how it was really a bummer that they don't televise anything about the space program any more. 3 days later...shuttle goes down! :( It really fucking SUCKS that what she has to remember from that age is the shuttle going down. Long live the space program!!!!! Honour to the astronauts!!!!! Blessed Be,
