>That's great!

Yes, well, that's my point.
Look, for instance, at recent
Mars rover photos.

Sure, it's cool they come
from Mars. But they're boring and
I don't believe that

the science content
will justify the expense.
When all's said and done,

it's money squandered,
for nothing but low-res pics
that academics

will only argue
about without creating
solid new knowledge.

A new space program
will just be more cool, dull pics,
more random data

for academics
to argue about, and much
more money destroyed

by shipping it out
to foreign cartels that don't
then buy stuff from us...
