Chalk one up for Congress. Manned space flight has reached the end of its usefulness. We’re not going to Mars b/c of money, dangers of radiation etc. Let’s just weaponize space.

The 70's all over again. Including claims the money is better spent on social programs.

Wait for the whine, "If we can put a man on the Moon why can't we solve world hunger?"

No Kidding. Those who want to fix earth first tend to ignore the small problem of human nature.

Fixing earth requires going to space in my opinion. Between the potential energy source of Helium3 and the mineral wealth, the world could be changed for the better forever.

‘Rats are so short-sighted. If we leave it to them eventually we will go back to the “good old days” of hunting and gathering and living in “green” mud huts. (sigh)

Those liberal working for NASA’s manned spaceflight program contractor companies are going to be in for a rude shock when they get their pink slips. How’s that hopey changy thing working for you?
