CNN on the next millennium in space - frightening

[Peter Wainwright <pan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

If you really want to scare yourself with the mainstream media,
check out this little gem from CNN:

(hit the 'Space' icon (it's the one that looks like a planet)).
One choice quote to rile you:

"For the next 20 to 30 years, I'm quite sure we're going to see no
difference whatsoever. We're going to have more of what we've had
for the last 30 to 40 years, which is, at considerable risk and
great expense, sending humans up into low orbit -- [who] float
around and look busy and come back to Earth -- and not really
accomplishing very much."

Well... he's a NASA historian, so I suppose it's only to be
expected. Even so... 30 years?? I think not.
