“You don't buy into huge car chases or sensates or interstellar warfare, but you can buy into a loving relationship or a father-son relationship, and you can buy into the small humor.

But only a tiny number of Earth's six billion inhabitants are direct participants. For the rest of us, the adventure is vicarious and akin to that of watching a science fiction movie. At the end of the day, I ask myself whether the huge national commitment of technical talent to human spaceflight and the ever-present potential for the loss of precious human life are really justifiable.” HumansEndsEarthMotivationValuesAsksLossNumbersFictionTalentAdventureHugeSixCommitmentDirectScience FictionBillionsTinyIdeologyHuman LifeThe End Of The DayComparisonRelativeContinuingSurvivingParticipantsRoboticsSpace TravelDispassionateVicariousSpaceflightScience Fiction MovieRelative Value Author:James Van Allen
