Space battles

Space enthusiasts are arguing about the hows, whys and wheres of going into space. See here, here and here. My views in a very small nutshell: make it as private-sector as possible; there are legitimate things to do out there that aren't scientific; the moon is probably more interesting than the Lagrangian points, and people to Mars, realistically, isn't happening anytime soon.
