I'm not a space geek, or a star trek fan, but I saw one episope where there was this planet that started exploring space just a little, and the crew dressed up as the inhabitants of that planet and would observe them and tried to contact their leader. Some people on the planet found out and tried to kill the crew members. The leader said, basically, that it was obvious that his people were not ready for contact with others from outer space, and that they would cease exploring space for awhile.

I think that traveling to the moon was one of mankind's greatest endeavors. Wasteful, expensive, and dangerous, sure, but it was amazing to me that we could do that a generation ago and could not now. It got me wondering about that Star trek episode. Then I started wondering about Adam and Eve and the fruit of knowledge and the Matrix red pill, and then I had to take the dogs out to potty and quit wondering.

I wish we would go back to the moon instead of focusing on Shuttle experiments that don't accomplish much and are equally dangerous and more expensive.
