I really don't get the slam on Patrick Stewart. I think the press is guilty of trying to create a little news here.
Well, Lileks is a pundit, but this isn't from a syndicated column or anything, is from what is basically his equivalent of a LiveJournal. And checking his citation, it's the NY Post ;) (Sheesh, since when does Lileks read the Post?)
He did not say we should never go. Good point. Though i also think Lileks has a point that saying we have to get this place right first puts going pretty squarely in the "never" time bracket.
Have better control over communicable diseases on Earth before we start spreading them through the universe.
LOVE the picture!
