This is exactly the kind of ignorance that is impacting our advancement as a species. The sad fact is that most people do not understand exactly how important the ISS is to our future. Granted the level of PR done by NASA / ESA is woefully insufficent, but nevertheless, the ISS is a crucial tool for our collective future.

That's a load of PR waffle. Just how is it a "crucial tool for our collective future", eh?

NASA's mission should be focused on unmanned space exploration, pure research, and telescope surveying--programs that provide more compelling discoveries about our universe for less tax dollars than politically-directed boondoggles. Let the private sector handle space tourism.

A growing number of scientists share this opinion:

What an idiot.

This is a subject you may want to stay out of.
