Martian Chronicles, 4

In yesterday’s Washington Post , Michael Benson suggests sending the space station to orbit the moon—or even beyond. It’s easier than it looks, he argues, for, technically, the ISS is already an interplanetary vehicle.

Well, maybe. I’d rather we concentrated our space resources on something grander, but at least Benson sees that something ought to be done to make space more exciting—to make it a more compelling part of the human imagination . [Hat Tip: Instapundit ]
