About this Quote

Wally Schirra's quote recommends that the space station will not be able to offer any significant exploration. He believes that the only method to get near to the concept of exploration is to send out individuals up there for a year or more. This suggests that the spaceport station is not capable of providing the very same level of expedition as a manned mission. Schirra's quote suggests that the spaceport station is more of a research platform than an exploration platform. It can supply valuable information and insights, but it can not provide the same level of expedition as a manned mission. Schirra's quote likewise suggests that exploration needs a long-term commitment, which the spaceport station can not supply. Therefore, the space station is not suitable for expedition, however it can still supply valuable data and insights.
