"Maybe it’s much ado about nothing, or maybe it’s something more. Perhaps as space travel becomes more mainstream we’ll have the opportunity to understand more about ourselves, the cosmos, and our relationship to rest of the universe."

Increasingly, advocates of space exploration believe leaving the planet is the natural next step of human evolution. They hope this will lead to a shift in human consciousness from an earth-centered frame of reference to one centered on the solar system and, eventually, the entire galaxy. </P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.dailygalaxy.com/my_weblog/2009/01/is-space-travel.html"><P>It has been argued that we can’t just focus on the technology of space
travel, without developing a supportive philosophy as well. Space
travel is not solely a hard technical science, but involves mental,
