I do. They're called "taxes."

> There isn't any private space industry, lunar colonies, manned mars station, because there isn't any benefit to it.

Uh-huh. And how much money did the US governemtn spend on Alaska and the Louisiana Purchase? How much money does a young couple spend on a baby?

Short-sighted luddism does not become a conservative. Leave that for the DUmmies.

> Unfortunately, we can't do that to the NASA managers, so they persist like all governmental agencies sucking their share of the lifeblood out of the ecomonomy

An impressive display of ignorance. NASA is the one agency that more than pays for itself. You want to do away with NASA? Fine. Watch your taxes grow and your military and technological base fall behind.

The profound economic ignorance demonstrated by this statement simply leaves me speechless except to say taxes aren't your personal resources.

Uh-huh. And how much money did the US governemtn spend on Alaska and the Louisiana Purchase? How much money does a young couple spend on a baby?

Total non-sequitors. Alaska and the Louisiana purchase had demonstrable value at the time. At the time New Orleans wasn't a rat hole of welfare parasites. Space has nothing but radiation, rocks, ice, gas, and most of all vast distances and "astronomical" transportation costs.

Are you seriously comparing spending money on a baby to having your money robbed at gunpoint to fuel someone else's fantasy in space? Totally irrelevant I suggest you attend dragoncon. It's a lot cheaper and most of them realize that it's fantasy.

And don't get me started on all fo the so-called innovations at NASA. NASA innovates just like any other government agency the maximum cost for the minimum result. Unless you think that really large rocket engines are a real boon to our society which you probably do
