We need a massive acceleration of the pace of space tech development, honestly, if we want to really make interplanetary exploration a reality. Just barely doing it isn't going to cut it anymore.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[paul34]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 21st 2010 9:42PM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
