Re: On Its Merits

Most of the boffins and engineers would agree that getting back into space is a good thing, just not with space capsules filled with people. Including shielding and life-support systems is expensive and significantly increases cost with very little return. Space, it turns out, is a very dangerous place for mammals, but tardygrades seem to do ok.
