Guest: Dr. David Livingston. This program, "Lessons Learned, Lessons Taught," expresses my opinion and thoughts regarding my recent experience with the New York Times Freakonomics blog and the poor editing of my essay response to "Is manned space exploration worth the cost? Why or why not?" Through a series of stupid decisions on my part, blind faith and trust, getting caught up in my own personal agenda, and some misleading emails from the Freakonomics corresponding editor , my essay was, in my opinion, very poorly edited and taken out of context.
