So you're going to give up your computer?

The internet and the computer you access it with are all products of the space program.

No they are not. Why don't we pour half of Nasa's money into resurrecting Xerox's R&D department and see what happens. I owe them a heck of a lot more than Nasa at this point. Nasa is a ridiculously large bloated agency that doesn't have to produce anything or sell anything to keep a float because we keep writting them larger and larger checks year after year.

Gut this pig and spread the money across other scientific endeavors.

And with regard to the posters stating all the wonderful inventions we owe to Nasa. My response is "what have you done for me lately Nasa?" We are going back 3 or more decades and pretending that Nasa is cranking out all kinds of useful new inventions and technology. They are not.

We will get much better economies of scale with our scientific investments by allowing any company other than Nasa to bid and when these individual projects.
