Republicans are anti-science.
I've seen a number of FReepers who are anti-NASA and think it's a waste of US Taxpayer money and want to see it scrapped and/or scaled back drastically, and especially so with the manned space program, when you talk about either the Moon or Mars.
I am not anti-NASA nor against manned space travel. I just think that for exploring the planets and moons of our solar system and beyond that we get a lot more bang for the buck going with unmanned probes right now.
We might have technology but I don’t think we have it developed well enough yet to consider a manned trip to Mars. Going back to the Moon I guess, but what is the use right now?
The only freepers against manned space are the extreme moonbats that give conservatives a bad name.
