From the disaster of Columbia to the current mystery of Beagle 2%27s silence%2C 2003 has demonstrated how the dream of space exploration has died.%0D%0A%0D%0ANo%2C that%27s not precisely true... we%27ve known that the dream is dead for a good long time.  2003 demonstrated that we%2C the American people%2C are beginning to forget that we ever HAD the dream.%0D%0A%0D%0ANow%2C let%27s face the facts about Columbia%3A what happened in her last flight had been waiting to happen since her first flight.  The space shuttle design%2C severely flawed from its inception%2C is over twenty years old.  It has failed of every promise made of it- in reliability%2C in economy%2C in flight turn-around%2C and in safety.  Numerous deadly flaws have been discovered over the years and patched over%2C but other flaws doubtless remain hidden%2C to be discovered only under the sort of circumstances that cannot help but end in disaster.%0D%0A%0D%0AAnd disaster came.  Again.  But this time%2C disaster had a different effect than when a schoolteacher and six other astronauts came crashing into the ocean after seventy seconds of flight.  In 1986%2C the nation came to a halt as we mourned for Challenger and for space flight.  In 1986%2C we debated how we should send up astronauts in the future.%0D%0A%0D%0AIn 2003%2C the primary debate was whether or not humans should be in space at all.%0D%0A%0D%0ABeagle 2%27s apparent failure on Mars should indicate to all and sundry that there is no substitute for the flexibility%2C ingenuity and reaction time of human space explorers.  Unfortunately%2C this lesson- demonstrated before- has blown over the heads of our leaders time and again.  These leaders want space exploration to be safe%2C painless and cheap- but unfortunately exploration has never been safe%2C has seldom been painless%2C and has never been cheap.%0D%0A%0D%0AIndeed%2C some of our leaders have begun to question why we explore space at all%2C and this is the true sadness of 2003.  We have forgotten why we began the exploration of space.  We have lost our sense of wonder%2C our curiosity%2C our desire to explore mysteries and make them known.%0D%0A%0D%0AGranted%2C there is a practical case to be made against space exploration.  We sent twelve men to walk on the moon.  What did they find%3F  Rocks and dust.  What did they bring back%3F  Rocks and dust.  What did we spend sending them there%3F  Billions of dollars in a time of global turmoil.  What profit is there in exploring space%2C risking human lives for common rocks%3F%0D%0A%0D%0AThis argument needs to be answered- and fast- if a future anything like UF%27s%2C or any of the sci-fi series it borrows from%2C is to happen.  We need a practical reason to send men into space.  Chasing a dream is not enough%3B we may say that dreams are precious%2C but if they were really worth all that much we wouldn%27t throw so many of them away.%0D%0A%0D%0AThere are definitely practical reasons to go.  First and foremost%2C there is no substitute for humans in space exploration.  When radio signals take seconds or even minutes to get from Earth to an explorer vessel%2C remote control is impossible.  Computers and robots cannot cope with the unexpected%2C and their flexibility is limited by metal%2C welds and bolts.  For successful exploration and exploitation of space%2C we must have human crewmen to take a direct hand.%0D%0A%0D%0AAs for why we explore at all- there are numerous practical reasons.  The foremost one is self-defense.  We know that our world is occasionally struck by asteroids large enough to threaten all human life on Earth%2C yet we currently have no means of stopping any threat from outside Earth%27s athmosphere.  Other disasters may come which we do not yet anticipate- disasters which might render life on Earth impossible.  Our eggs are all in one basket%3B we must explore%2C move on%2C and find new places where humanity can live and flourish.%0D%0A%0D%0AAnother reason to expand is sustainability.  We are using up Earth%27s resources- this we have known for some time%2C and already we are finding substitute energy sources%2C more efficient food production methods%2C etc.  Ultimately%2C however%2C certain raw materials- especially metals and rare earths- will be used up beyond our ability to recycle.  These minerals exist in abundance on other worlds%2C if we can but find a way to harvest them.%0D%0A%0D%0AMy personal favorite reason%2C though%2C is novelty.  There is money to be made just from the experience of space travel%2C just as there is money made today by ocean liners that go nowhere but in circles.  How many people would like to see the Earth from above%2C as an island of life in a black ocean%3F  Already the Russians are experimenting with the novelty aspect of space travel%3B now it%27s our turn to get on the ball.%0D%0A%0D%0AUnfortunately%2C all of these reasons mean nothing without a coherent plan for space exploration- something the USA has not had since 1970.  We need a series of specific%2C limited goals%2C one following the other.  We need vessels capable of achieving those goals- and the STS system most emphatically does not qualify.  Most important%2C we need the willpower to stick to the plan and go forward%2C even when the going is hard and the price is paid in the blood of heroes.%0D%0A%0D%0AI wish I could expect this to come from NASA%2C but it won%27t.  %0D%0A%0D%0AThus%2C I end with the one bright spot in 2003.  Dick Rhutan%27s Spaceship One has not yet flown in space%2C but this month it became the first vehicle to surpass the speed of sound... for which not a single tax dollar was used in the design or building.  It is quite likely that Spaceship One will achieve orbit before the next shuttle flight is allowed to take off.  Spaceship One is the only sign going into 2004 that the dream is not entirely dead%2C not completely forgotten.%0D%0A%0D%0ANow%2C if only we can keep our solons in Washington from prohibiting it%2C perhaps private enterprise will succeed where government agencies have so miserably failed.%0D%0A%0D%0ARedneck%0D%0A%0D%0A%0D%0A%0D%0A%0D%0A%0D%0AKris Overstreet%2C aka Redneck Gaijin%0D%0Ahttp%3A%2F%2Fwww.wlpcomics.com%2Fredneck%2F%0D%0AWhite Lightning Productions - huge tracts of land for sale%0D%0Ahttp%3A%2F%2Fwww.wlpcomics.com%0D%0A%0D%0A

They just wanted to show the commies up.  When it started to become clear that the russkies weren%27t likely to be doing anything else but trying %28and failing%29 to feed their people for a while%2C the US space program kind of..gave up.  They decided %27Oh%2C we%27ll go back to the moon a few more times%2C see if we missed any hot six-breasted moon-babes%2C then call it a day.  We didn%27t find any alien technology we can use to vaporise our enemies with anyhow%2C so who cares%3F%27  If the money that had been spent on the US Space program in the 60%27s had continued until now%2C we probably %2Awould%2A be on mars right now.  But somebody %28Possibly Nixon%2C but who cares%29 decided that bigger and better bombs were more important.%0D%0A%0D%0A%3EThis argument needs to be answered- and fast- if a future anything %0D%0A%3Elike UF%27s%2C or any of the sci-fi series it borrows from%2C is to happen.  %0D%0A%3EWe need a practical reason to send men into space.

Chances are they%27re too paranoid to care.%29%0D%0A%0D%0A%3EThere are definitely practical reasons to go.  First and foremost%2C %0D%0A%3Ethere is no substitute for humans in space exploration.

For successful exploration and exploitation of %0D%0A%3Espace%2C we must have human crewmen to take a direct hand. %0D%0A%0D%0AForget space%2C even here on EARTH robots can%27t do everything humans could.  We still can%27t go all the way down into the Marianis Trench %28so far as I know%29 to see what%27s down there%2C or even much farther down than humans could%2C and not just because of the immense pressures involved.  The currents and landscape down there is just too unpredictable for even a remotely-guided unit to handle.  And really%2C underwater isn%27t nearly as harsh an environment as the space between sizable bodies of matter even in our own solar system.  Rocks no bigger than a grain of sand can%27t come at the robot at a million miles per hour and rip a hole right through the communications system%2C thus rendering the project completely worthless underwater.  You aren%27t subjected to bursts of hard radiation that would make living inside of a microwave seem like you%27re living in a bomb shelter when you%27re underwater.  A human can take a bit of an EM jolt far better than a circuit board.%0D%0A%0D%0A%3EAs for why we explore at all- there are numerous practical reasons.  %0D%0A%3EThe foremost one is self-defense.  We know that our world is %0D%0A%3Eoccasionally struck by asteroids large enough to threaten all human %0D%0A%3Elife on Earth%2C yet we currently have no means of stopping any threat %0D%0A%3Efrom outside Earth%27s athmosphere.

Our eggs are all in one basket%3B we must explore%2C move on%2C %0D%0A%3Eand find new places where humanity can live and flourish. %0D%0A%0D%0AIndeed.  In fact%2C that%27s pretty much the whole reason humanity did the colony thing in Macross.  After the Zentraedi blew the earth to hell%2C they wised up and decided that maybe everybody living on and around one little ball of rock wasn%27t such the greatest idea in the world.  One just hopes that 805 of the worlds population won%27t have to be wiped out by the hellfire of alien energy weapons before ours decide that maybe it isn%27t such a great plan.%0D%0A%0D%0A%3EAnother reason to expand is sustainability.  We are using up Earth%27s %0D%0A%3Eresources- this we have known for some time%2C and already we are %0D%0A%3Efinding substitute energy sources%2C more efficient food production %0D%0A%3Emethods%2C etc.  Ultimately%2C however%2C certain raw materials- especially %0D%0A%3Emetals and rare earths- will be used up beyond our ability to recycle. %0D%0A%3E These minerals exist in abundance on other worlds%2C if we can but find %0D%0A%3Ea way to harvest them. %0D%0A%0D%0AForget other worlds%2C  there%27s enough iron in one fair-sized asteroid to equal what would cost billions of dollars and millions of man-hours to mine on earth%2C even %2Anow%2A%2C when iron is still pretty darn common.  The only way I can think of to NOT have to get certain metals and minerals from space would be to somehow tap into the earths mantle or even core.  Bad summer blockbusters aside%2C that would take far more research and money to do than some booster rockets onto an asteroid out to the LaGrange point between the earth and the boom and chipping the rock away%2C then putting the iron ore into a re-entry-capable pod and dropping it somewhere handy. %28Antarctica might be a good spot to dump it.  Not many penguins in the middle of the south pole%2C and the ice there is generally thick enough that it wouldn%27t go all the way through.  Or maybe Wyoming%2C because%2C really%2C who cares%3F %3A%29%0D%0A%0D%0A%0D%0A%3EMy personal favorite reason%2C though%2C is novelty.  There is money to be %0D%0A%3Emade just from the experience of space travel%2C just as there is money %0D%0A%3Emade today by ocean liners that go nowhere but in circles.
