Artists should have say in spaceflight?

No really. I'm not kidding. That's what the ESA believes.
"The International Space Station is a great achievement of human ingenuity and international cooperation, as well as a cutting-edge research facility. But the European Space Agency believes strongly that the cultural world too should have a say in the future of space exploration. We therefore want to open the ISS to a new community of artistic and cultural users..."

I have to ask the question, why do a bunch of sniveling, cocky, pretentious, socialist, navel gazers from the art community, that has stuck their nozes up for so long at the Science Fiction community as not being an art form, deserve any say in spaceflight? (My apologies to all non-sniveling, non-cocky, non-pretentious, non-socialist, hard working artists everywhere - you are a rare item indeed)

If you're really interested in thoughtful input get in a panel from the leading contributors of the Science Fiction community - because as we all know that is the true art form of today's day and age...
