Heeding the call to transcend our own limits
Mark Sappenfield
Why go to the moon? The arguments against it are clear: It鈥檚 expensive, and what does it accomplish, besides making scientists happy?
But in a Q-and-A on the subject today, Sarah Matusek finds something important. 鈥淚 think there鈥檚 always value in exploring, and learning something new, and just trying to transcend our limits as a human species,鈥� science journalist Rebecca Boyle tells her.
What if we could make that our aim in all human endeavor 鈥� whether in politics, economics, or security? We don鈥檛 necessarily need to go to the moon to do that. But sometimes, someone needs to show what鈥檚 possible.
