In my opinion, we’re not out there exploring possibilities beyond the moon because NASA and the US government choked when the inevitable happened and people were lost. The momentum to back off was generated as much by the incredible shock that was felt in the NASA community as by the fact that this one major disaster was repeatedly displayed in excruciating detail on monitors all over the world – plain for all to see.
I believe in the dream, and I regret the loss of a single one of the astronauts who gave their lives, but similar tragic outcomes have been found in almost every effort that involves taking risks to achieve a higher goal. Where would the world be today had some believers not taken the second or third risky attempt after the first ended in tragedy. There is no such thing as a perfectly safe, no loss trek into the unknown. There also is no such thing as a brighter future if one doesn’t try.
