What does the Smithsonian have to do with anything? It's marvelous entertainment to be sure, but still entertainment at the taxpayers' expense.

Are you aware that the Smithsonian was bankrolling some big time honcho who was crashing aeroplanes into the Potomac at the same time that the Wright brothers were developing their airplane? This "socialism" as you call it has been going on since the birth of the Republic.

No I wasn't; however, this would seem to support my thesis that private spending is more productive.

I think you have unintentionally made a good argument against government funding of space exploration.
