- Thank you Paul, I truly appreciate it.

- However, this just proves what I have believed for a long
- time. First, in response to questions like this people are going to list
- those items which effect their lives immediately first. Second, the
- average citizen has no understanding of the benefits derived from
- science R&D including space exploration and no real
- vision of the future (NASA has failed at public relations). Finally,
- note that they support manned over unmanned and they are for
- keeping funding the same (not ending it as you have suggested).
- I am bothered by the fact that nobody asked the question if funding
- should increase at the inflation rate.
