The world is getting a sense of global interconnectedness; even though it takes disasters like global warming, financial crises, and the oil spill, I believe there's an awareness that we're all in this together.
Yeah, I was born impatient for space colonies too, but I think we'll get them when humanity's really ready for them. Next year the Chinese will put up their first space station, and is pushing for the Moon; that will spur some reaction in Washington. In the meantime count your blessings. New Horizons, the fastest manmade object, is over halfway to Pluto and the Kuiper Belt. You want faster action, write your congress-critter.
