Phil Plait has a little rant about our (lack of) progress in human spaceflight. The usual pointless man-versus-robot debate ensues in comments. (I think that the post title should be "whither," though, not "whence"--whence, which is often misused with the redundant "from whence," means "from where," while "whither" means "to where".)

Nice rant. Reminds my why I used to read Phil every day, before his site became another "George Bush is Hitler!" blog.
