Is this what religious fervor feels like? Like crying and cheering and knowing that it's going to be alright? I'm incredibly easily moved by space exploration, but even so.
(There's a part of me in the back of my skull which is just sitting there saying "wow they have a good marketing team". Because it's not like this is a break-point, a radical change. It's not even like I truely think NASA is a keystone to getting us into space. But even so, even so. We're going back (I swear to god, we're going back). I think, maybe, if I could see a colony, a real one, one which can survive by itself, before I die, I'd die content. That wouldn't be so bad. And they wouldn't make propaganda for a project like that if they weren't trying).
