Must we? So early in the morning.

Interesting. But it means nothing.

I’m sure there’s a Disney reference in here somewhere, but I’m not depraved enough to think that one up...

> Ariel, a moon of Uranus, might have once harbored an ocean <

Would it be nice to know for sure? Yes.
Is it worth borrowing money to find out? No.

The United States is a debtor nation. So “borrowing money” is certainly the proper term here.

Federal grants more than likely have been one of the biggest rackets this country has ever seen.

Dan Akroyd even referenced it in the Ghost Busters movie:
-
“I’ve worked in the private sector... they expect results!”

ALL grants should be scrutinized and vetted within an inch of its life before one federal dime is dispensed to it.

Space exploration could be done by a consortium of scientific nations and universities, each contributing to the costs.....................

Agreed.

So what? Who cares? How is this going to affect the life of even one taxpayer other than the aerospace industry that's always salivating over the prospect of swilling more at the public trough?

We Need To Go Back”

No we absolutely do not "need to go back" Let the ones who want to do this cough up the funds or hold a bake sale, but keep your greedy grasping shithooks out of my pocket.

[from occupied ga]

Let the people who want to do this set up a “Go fund me” site and gage the population’s desire to “go back” by how much money they get.

My thoughts exactly.

I don’t care about Uranus’ hemorrhoid moon

We'll never get back to the Earth no more
We'll have to fall in love on Uranus
