I am older than you but enjoy also very much star trek and similar movies!And your photos are really amazing, Your dad did the right thing... To answer the previous comment,It is important to know that all the research done for the space ,like Nasa, or others like this project, subsequently have innumerable positive follow ups or applications in other fields. One thing does not exclude the other...I am also convinced that humans are explorers and it is in our nature to keep going even further. Sorry for my English! And congratulations to Jim.

The ocean (75% of our planet) is largely unexplored with 1000 times less money allocated to its study than these silly trips to the moon and mars. Its time to start talking about the planets burgeoning over population and focus on solving problems in our "living room", instead of looking to Frank Herbert and Issac Asimov missions to mars. Get real people. Its where we live NOW! The planet we live on is being murdered by jet and general transportation carbons.
