If it's paid for by tax dollars, then $.01 is too much.
Lewis and Clark
It didn't cost in excess of a million dollars an ounce to send Lewis and Clark anywhere. They got on their horses and went. If anyone can get in his car and drive to the moon let them go. L&C cataloged economically feasible resources. The moon is NOT economically feasible as a source of anything.
but in a society where trillions are spend on subsidized health care, it might be better spend on the final frontier - space.
How about just NOT spending it on subsidized health care How about - and here's a novel idea - LETTING THE PEOPLE WHO EARNED IT KEEP IT AND SPEND IT ON WHAT THEY WANT?

Well, then let’s stay on earth and argue over taxes until we die.

Lewis and Clark were paid by TAXPAYER DOLLARS.

I agree, but we still are at the stepping stone into space. We’ve been to the moon several times already with equipment and technology at an infant stage to what we possess now. Eventually a large enough meteor is going to hit this planet - and hopefully not while we are arguing about why expanding into space is a stupid idea.
