Redirecting space dollars

The article "New US Space Center Boss Shoots for the Moon," Jan. 21, indicates that Robert Crippen, director of the Kennedy Space Center, plans eight shuttle launches for 1992.

It is not that I am uninterested in space exploration, but when I walk the streets of any large city, I can't help thinking how many homeless and hungry people could be helped by our not going to the moon. Margaret P. Kelley, Nantucket, Mass.

Why is Christian Science in our name?

Our name is about honesty. The Monitor is owned by The Christian Science Church, and we’ve always been transparent about that.

The Church publishes the Monitor because it sees good journalism as vital to progress in the world. Since 1908, we’ve aimed “to injure no man, but to bless all mankind,” as our founder, Mary Baker Eddy, put it.

Here, you’ll find award-winning journalism not driven by commercial influences – a news organization that takes seriously its mission to uplift the world by seeking solutions and finding reasons for credible hope.
