We have so diminished ourselves that symbols like this are beyond our means now.

There is no evidence that there is anything in the solar system we need that we can't find on Earth. And it is possible that we may never be able to reach even the nearest star.

There are plenty of other worthwhile projects that NASA can be addressing - such as figuring out how to deal with an EMP incident. It's not just the Iranians who are a threat because of that - we also have the sun.
