The problem is that Americans are very apathetic. They fail see the need to go to space and even with the Chinese breathing down our necks to be the second to the moon and possibly the first beyond, Americans don't seem to have that spirit of competition. I think we're inherently lazy now. In the Cold War Era, going to the moon was like a slap to the Russians and that made American's feel good, more so than the actual feet of making it there. These days there's no evil empire threatening the demise of life as we know it. The only evil empire threatening the demise of life as we know it is the slow erosion of ambition and enginuity in our country. I agree with that to a certain extent.
