/* ---------- "Re: Astronomers vs. astrology (long" ---------- */
Interesting thought -- if and when we get out there, and actually
directly observe...will it really be "astronomy" any more? That is, 
...it won't be "astronomy" as we now know it, any more
than "geography" is the same as "surveying".

After interstellar spaceflight becomes common, will "astronomy" as a
science exist any more? Or will it be subsumed into some form of
practical engineering or the like?

Now that we have "surveying" has "geography" disappeared?
