All space exploration brings up that "maybe humanity has a shot" emotion in me... but as much as I tend to view it all as "Earthlings in space" there's also a strong nationalistic undercurrent. I mean honestly, isn't globalism better when it's your country taking the lead. ;^) With the ISS becoming more and more the "NASA doing everything SS" how can you not feel just a little national pride? I just wish that NASA got more respect here... it's a rotten shame to see some of the most important programs we have being scrapped due to short-sighted budget cuts.
