It is hard to understand all the politics around NASA cutbacks, the last flight of Discovery and our space program in general. But, I hope we keep the investment in going to space. Many of the technologies that spurred the US technology foundation in the 60's, 70's and 80's came out of the NASA incubator. It is very ironic to me that as we spend less on space exploration, we are considered to be lagging behind China and India in the overall tech space. Anyway, here is a neat article that is worth a read.

Maybe we will find the answer in a comet.
