Re: space station vs "pure scientific exploration"

Isnt it a generaly accepted fact that scientists have enough raw
data from previous and ongoing space research to keep them busy
for years and years?  I think its time for technology, engineering,
industry, and yes, even the military, to catch up!!!!

Lets build the space station.  A space station will provide a lot more
benifit to pure science (as a base for exploration, 0 G lab, etc) than
more pure scientific exploration will provide to the other camps I
have mentioned.  End of debate....
