I would tend to agree, except that there's a cynical part of me that is afraid that any telescope we put up would have.. issues as well. Hopefully not the same issues as hubble, but issues.

Also, I'm serious that I think we should head to Mars. We've done the moon. I'm sure there's plenty to learn on the Moon still, but Mars is the next fronteir. We COULD DO Mars if we pooled our resources and knowledge together. Just like we could go to the Moon.
