It's like String theory (ok, i know the name has changed, but my point still stands)
Amount of impact that is having on the science community and pretty much proving everything we know is completley wrong.
Public walk around oblivious to it, they dont complain when it creates nice new technology for them though lol.

I'm afraid you might have a point there Trax, from the average persons point of view since the moon landings in the late 60s early 70s not a lot has happened. Of course that isn't the case, but it seems to me NASA need something big to capture the public mood again, especially from a British point of view as our government has cut our "space" budget which in turn means our scientists have lost access to some of the worlds largest telescopes for research. BTW I'm putting my money on there being life under the frozen wastes of Europa, if its anywhere in our system its there.
