So I wanted to have something here to kick things off...but really it…
My big ideas on space exploration are these - first, I think we should send orbiters to each planet with large solar arrays (I guess they'd have to be nuclear for ones out past, say Jupiter, since there isn't enough sunlight) and their sole function would be to act as locator beacons for any other probes that we might want to send. I think it would significantly reduce any error in getting both manned and unmanned spacecraft to their destination.
Second - I think there should be an international space agency that gets money from any country who wants to participate. It would reduce redundancy of missions and would allow us to take on more ambitious goals - let's face it, saying "this part of the moon belongs to the US" is pretty ridiculous.
