It is truly unfortunate that NASA is cutting its astrobiology research divisions down to a minimum as if we are truly going to explore the Universe with human manned space exploration vehicles and research teams we will need to know as much as possible about what we are getting into. So if we go where man has never gone before and boldly so, we may find our selves SOL when things go wrong, without the knowledge that the teams and researchers at the NASA Astrobiology Labs can bring to the table.

Additionally the things we learn from the Astrobiology studies at NASA have cross over and transfer technologies worth their weight in gold for the forward progression of the species and solving some of the dilemmas which plague our species in the current period. The NASA Astrobiology Labs offer us insights we can get no other way and the chance to cure disease and make new discoveries in medical sciences, which we w

ill need in the future to survive.

Further if we are discover new life on other worlds and especially in our own solar system we need to know what we are looking for and make sure that what ever we do find whether it be the smallest virus or even intelligent life that it is indeed compatible with our human biosystems. I hope you will consider all this in 2006.
