Re: How secure is our space project future?
The problem with your thesis Charles, if I may be so bold, lies in everything that is implicit in the words 'we'. 'Our' space program, if I may reciprocate the egocentric approach, is quite healthy, here in Europe. It has built steadily and progressively, without any of the razmatazz and chest beating which accompanied the US program. Because it has been constructed prudently I am not aware that it is not under particular threat.
The Chinese and Indian programs are also proceeding apace. We may even see a space race between these two along the lines of the US/USSR event.
I share your belief that we should set as our destiny the goal of beginning the colonisation of the rest of the galaxy, subject to prior ownership, of course. What I do not share is your belief that 'our' space project is doomed, unless you mean the NASA venture. And even there I would point to the likes of Bert Rotan (spelling?) to save 'you'.

An open mind is more about accepting nothing, than about accepting everything.
