I hope they get it off the ground tomorrow and have a safe trip.
Safe trip yes, but I would rather they cancel the trip all together and put the money they were to spend on this trip on the National Debt. I just can’t believe how many people love to be on the government dole. Yep even many here are loving this sacred welfare program. If only we could take our debt seriously. Nobody is serious about getting the debt down even conservatives on Free Republic and if patriots at Free Republic are not serious about debt reduction than we are DOOMED!
NASA even with it’s imperfections is some of the best bang for the buck America spends. In the big picture it’s chump change. You could cancel it uttelry and it wouldnt even ptu a dent in our national debt!
What would you pay for the universe?

NASA is one of the few things government does, that makes sense. Or did at one time. Compared to what government blows daily, NASA funding is all but insignificant.
Yup. Guilty.
A robust space program is vital to the national defense of the United States.
