Declaration of Support for Space Exploration A Response to the Loss of Columbia and her Crew
Thank you members and friends. Over 12,500 of you have
signed our declaration, and we have been
joined by members of the Star Trek universe and
the SETI@home community. :xohyes:
Robert Picardo, the holographic doctor on Star Trek:
Voyager and a member of The Planetary Society
Advisory Council, said, "Although the recent tragedy
envelops us all, to falter in our commitment to
the future of human and robotic exploration of
space is a disservice to the dedicated men and
women who serve as architects of our future."

some of the spacecraft electronics. We are, however,
waiting for problems to be resolved with our launch
vehicle, the Volna. Until then, we are prisoners on
Earth, trapped in our planet's gravity well. . . "
