    but who in their right mind would spend money on space trips in this economic climate?

    Well, it's like my grandpappy used to say, usually right before he pass out with drool running down his chin: "People do things other people deem stupid. Now, stop bogarting that bong, sonny-jim, I'm about to get ripped."
