"Since, in the long run, every planetary civilization will be endangered by impacts from space, every surviving civilization is obliged to become spacefaring--not because of exploratory or romantic zeal, but for the most practical reason imaginable: staying alive... If our long-term survival is at stake, we have a basic responsibility to our species to venture to other worlds." ~Carl Sagan, Pale Blue Dot, 1994
"I don't think the human race will survive the next thousand years, unless we spread into space. There are too many accidents that can befall life on a single planet. But I'm an optimist. We will reach out to the stars." ~Stephen Hawking, interview with Daily Telegraph, 2001

great post
Space indeed is the last frontier as viewed in the context of earthlings such as ourselves, but it will also be a beginning of sorts, the start of things once though unimaginable.
What do you think of Obama's ending the shuttle program? He is dedicating billions of dollars to NASA for research though.
