plime.com : science : The next 50 years of exploration

We have been in space for 50 years. It is a long time and we have certainly come a long way so far. Where exactly will we be in space 50 years from now? It is hard to say. picked by DrNothing 11 months ago

Well, simply on the Earth, we could have sent a robot to the South Pole. It might probably have been better than a human at analysing the types of ice found there. But what we remember is Mr Amundsen setting down his flag.

Yes, I agree.

Sadly, however, more people will probably remember Captain Robert F. Scott (who died on the way back with his whole team, after "coming second" to the South Pole), whereas not everybody will even remember that Roald Amundsen got there first...
