I'm surprised. I would have expected most here to be in favor of
the commercialization/popularization of space exploration. I don't think you can have one without the other. If sponsorship of an HDTV helps pay for a mission that also happens to perform useful science, what's wrong with that? |

If sponsorship of an HDTV helps pay for a mission that also happens to perform useful science, what's wrong with that? You think the amount of money gained by sponsorship is anywhere near enough to boost the entire mission? I'm guessing it's not. In the end it probably just covers its own cost of adding another -------------------- |
