Manned space flight has been a piece of high tech pork for about four decades now.  Unfortunately, the Imperial Space Station will still continue to be a boondoggle paid for by the taxpayers.

Wow, you might be the only one who agrees with me! 

Me too. Sure, space is interesting but we have a million more pressing issues on Earth. If it's so viable, let private industry do it.

I agree too - space is certainly important, and potentially a big part of the future for the human race, but at this time, it is a luxury that we can do without.
