It may be a core to our nature, but a $14.5T debt isn`t.

We`re not the same nation that won the race to the moon. After the last Shuttle mission ends, the best we`ll be doing for manned missions is hitching rides with the Russians to the ISS. Hardly the stuff of “frontiers.”

It`s probably the limit of our capability anyway. America is a nation in decline that can`t even protect its southern border. Mars can wait.

Did you watch that video I posted?
He talked about America fading, backing off from exploration is one of the reasons why.

Our future is a better one with American’s in space then without it.

It’s investment in our future, so that it will be an optimistic one worth fighting and living for.

Again, it’s chump change. It really is.
There is no logical arguement that not doing this will help.
Entitlements is our battle there. Not walking away from the things that make America great that cost pocket change.
