1)If there were a manned flight to Mars and I somehow qualified for it, I would go even if there were a zero percent chance of surviving to return… and I suspect there are others out there who feel the same way.
2)Folks who use “trekkie” as though it were an insult are the same folks who use “nerd” as the ultimate put-down. It is people whose comprehension of science and the world in general is so weak and undeveloped that they can’t imagine any kind of research or exploration to be useful. Educate yourselves… or don’t, and remain useless Luddites holding back the entire human race.
3)Next time you get an MRI/EKG, remember the space program made them possible.
