Your first paragraph puzzles me. Why ...Kaor, Paul!<br /><br />Your first paragraph puzzles me. Why should it be contradictory for space travel to be exciting but also a routine matter in a complex technological society? I would argue that for PIONEERS of space travel it will be plenty exciting! And even centuries later space travel will remain adventurous for those pushing out into the complete unknown past the frontiers of a space traveling civilization. <br /><br />True, most people won't be space travelers. Most will be content to live out their lives on whichever planet they live on.<br /><br />SeanSean M. Brookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13973738112230622557noreply@blogger.com
