Does that look like a trailer park to you? Come on down here sometime, I'll blow your mind as you see things in person that you insisted were fake.

President Trump plans to cut off funding to the International Space Station by 2025. Many people do not even know there is an International Space Station, because it is so rarely in the news, but it has cost more than $100 billion to build and support.
What follows is a complete list of the most important discoveries of the space station over the past 20 years:

The space station is another example of welfare for NASA. It provides nothing to America, using taxpayer money to provide welfare for scientists and engineers to be tremendously unproductive.
NASA scientists see it differently. That's because they are addicted to space porn: any time an image or data comes from outer space, no matter how irrelevant, astronomers experience physical arousal. And unfortunately, they want us to pay for it. It's like paying for drug addicts.
We are always told that the space station is doing important work. Look, rats float in space! Screws rotate clockwise twice as often as they rotate counterclockwise! Why do they do that? We need to fund another space station for 20 years to find out!
The Trump administration in February proposed ending direct U.S. government support of the space station in 2025, prompting debate and discussion over whether commercial industry can make a business of building and operating orbiting research facilities staffed by astronauts.
Why is that relevant? If it's economical, they will do it; and if it's uneconomical, it won't get done. What's wrong with that?

messierhunter: you are making valid points, but can you have a conversation without going all potty mouth? If you run into a conspiracy nut and cant get a rationale dialogue, best to move on. I keep a nutjob list now, just to remember who to ignore. makes me a happier poster.
Uncle Sham: NASA, and many other agencies, though certainly not all, were originally created to meet national security needs. We went to the moon, and did many other things, not to invent Velcro or cell phones, but to develop the technologies that helped us defeat the USSR with firing a shot, and help us protect our country from threats today. The commercial market does not always have the incentive to invest as necessary for some of these critical technologies. Some criticism of waste is warranted today, as a lot of money gets diverted into areas that really don’t provide return on investment. But in those cases, we need to elect representative who will correct these abuses.
No profanity, please. Thank you.
Wow, way to remove all of my evidence. Unbelievable. Thanks for proving Free Republic is on the side of conspiracy theorists and Apollo deniers. Here, you guys need to choke on this too:

Way to stand with the un-American Apollo deniers, well done.
You’ve utterly failed to refute anything I posted, you’ve utterly failed to disprove my evidence, and you have no explanation for the fact that I have proven you completely wrong. So what are you going to do about it? Scream “troll” some more like it will mean something? You are an anti-American conspiracy theorist nutjob and I will do whatever it takes to offend you and drive you away. I will keep recording these videos, I will keep posting them, and I will keep ramming them down your throat until Free Republic completely bans me for pissing on the American-innovation-hating nutjobs like you.
Some of you are so hung up on the politics of people like Elon Musk and JFK/LBJ that you can’t even bring yourselves to admit that the space program is real because it might give some credit to people you disagree with politically. In the process you inadvertently become anti-American conspiracy nutjobs who have to try to deny uniquely American achievements like the first manned landing on the moon and the first re-usable rockets. It’s absurd, it’s disgusting, and I will do whatever it takes to fight it.
Worthless FL trailer part TROLL..
You’re too obvious. You see the mods are on the verge of banning me so you’re trying to bait me into getting a full ban. Pathetic. You can’t refute my evidence so you try to get me censored instead. How does that feel? To be that big of a failure that you have to resort to censorship to avoid hearing evidence which proves you wrong? Does it torment you as you try to sleep at night? I hope it does.

North intersection of 401 and Charles M Rowland Drive. Be there for the next LZ-1 landing or be square.
I just am pointing out what a worthless troll you are. You can shut up anytime or have me just keep this up. It is your choice. Go away.
Stay out of it.
I’m not a worthless troll, I’m an astronomer who keeps posting evidence that proves your claims false. Apparently I’m no longer allowed to insult you but you’re fully allowed to insult me. Again, this only proves the bias Free Republic has towards anti-American conspiracy theorists, but whatever, I’ll persist until they completely ban me from posting this evidence:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=59pY74ZhQ50
Completely unedited and uninterrupted footage that you are dead wrong, how’s that feel? Every time you insult me I’ll just post it again.
You are a low life troll. Shut up
Hey dude, you were already on my stalker/ignore list so go ahead and piss the rest of the world off, no skin off my back.
What is your evidence that proves we went to the moon? Is this evidence from the non-trustwothy government? Just because someone shows you a picture or movie of something, it does not prove anything. Prove that their technology of the time was capable of doing what you claim they did back then. The problem is that you can’t because THEY lost or destroyed almost all of the data supposedly gathered from those missions. They claimed Oswald was a lone assassin but here we are fifty five years later where today’s technology has uncovered the truth that the Zapruder film was messed with. You can trust them all you want. I don’t. The founders did not trust government either. I think we should follow their lead.
Not a troll.

Stalker? LMFAO! Whatever dude. I have no idea who you are and I really could not care less.
Failure to recognize the weight of photographic and video evidence is exactly what leads to the the current insanity of claiming the thousands of people who film things like the SpaceX landings are all part of the conspiracy as well. Video and photo evidence matters. Oh and by the way, if you do some back-of-the-envelope calculations you’ll find that the Saturn V was fully capable of getting humans to the Moon and back.
And you just got added to my nutjob list. Bye
Militarize it.
As a HAM operator it will suck not getting subsidized radio satellites in space anymore.
I wouldn’t leave space completely in the hands of civilians. Just militarize it, and leave a tiny bit left for scientific and civilian purposes.
