Many of the 911 terrorists came here on student visas, and Homeland Security wants to find out if there are any more hiding in the stacks, but it’s intimidating to professors, foreign students and everyone who likes to toss around ideas in a good debate.

There is a reason for this, and it is a good one: our astronauts are at the leading edge of human endeavour. They are carefully chosen for their accomplishments, abilities and general excellence. They are the best we have, striding into danger with a smile and a wave.
