I am an absolutely firm believer in pursuing space exploration, it is where we should be going. However I don't believe it's necessary to go about it with a bloated beast like Nasa, nor do I think believe we should be fostering or supporting the notion that it can be done without mistakes or accidents.
If someone offered me a one way seat to Mars tomorrow I'd go without a moments hesitation.
