	This is an example of the kind of misinformed enthusiasm I
believe exists in this country in large amounts.  I am sure that most
people believe the US should have the best space program in the world,
but they think we already do (as this person does).  I think that once
educated, these people might actually turn around a help do something
to convince our government that something must be done.
