@Peter Davey: Given that the Russians already have a human-rated launch capacity and we don’t, and the current obstructionist climate in Washington DC, I don’t see a space race between Russia and the US developing.

Russia versus SpaceX however… Hmmm….

I don’t know if this has reached the American press, but there are reports in the British press today, concerning Russians plans to “commemorate” the 60th anniversary of the Apollo landing by sending their own astronauts to the Moon.

Perhaps this may bring the term “space race” back in popular usage, and concentrate American public opinion on astronautics again.

I have to admit, I like the program’s new name a lot better. Seth & company talk a lot about science and skepticism in general, not just astronomy and SETI in particular. I think “Big Picture Science” captures the spirit and purpose of the program a lot better than “Are We Alone?” does.

They changed the name to “Big Picture Science.”
