CRASH AND BURN BABY!!!!.. ing such a huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge waste of money. well ok so its not really a waste, but i dont understrand why SO much needs to go to nasa, when its clearly needed in other things. a little less money to nasa would make me happy. |
I really have to disagree with that. The amount that is spent on NASA is a incredibly small fraction of what is spent on say defense spending. In relation to other governmental programs NASA does not get a whole lot of funding. The international space station and space exploration overall is extremely important IMO. Doesn't seem like it right now but it will eventually after we've ed up our planet to the point where humans can no longer live on it. |

| I dunno if this point is lost, but unless you have an organization like NASA which develops exotic high end technology, the general level of US technology will remain low. |
