I personally love the whole project of space exploration, and I have been fascinated by it since I was a kid.  But we're under a serious crunch and we can't afford it now.  The planets are something like 4.5 billion years old, so I'll take a gamble and say they'll still be around by the time our economy recovers....

The sad part is, that gamble by now might actually get more bet-able odds in Vegas than the Mike Tyson-Buster Douglas fight did in 1990.
