There is no question in the mind of any educated person that the vast output of literature, film, arts, music, and architecture--in effect, the sum of human civilization

And there, folks, is an unbiased opinion. The only people that believe that nonsense are people that have never done any real science or anything of any merit, ever.

Technology defines our species. If the ISS does nothing else besides educates us on the effect of human beings in space, including very scientific things like food rations and waste elimination, it will have done more to ensure prosperity of the human race than any song, dance, or 3 month yachting trip have ever done. (Hint: there are no Latino servants nor country clubs in space).

You know that Carl Sagan would probably disagree with you here? He personally tried to recruit Tyson to help at the Aricebo Observatory, but Tyson rejected the offer.
