>If the US wants to kill the space program the only appropriate thing to do with the money is cut taxes. Anything else is just more welfare.

A trillion dollars
could have re-finished a lot
of highways, or fixed

a lot of bridges,
(or buttressed the power grid) --
things that help us all ...

Sci-fi games are great,
but NASA fails every time.
(They accomplish "things,"

but never complete
a mission per specs. For cash
in these quantities,

it's right to expect
more from these chowder-head geeks.)
Let's spend more wisely.

Just FYI, NASA entire budget for 42 years might total $300 billion.

We already have federal budget outlays for bridges, roads, welfare, and plenty of other blackhole moneypits for our taxdollars. Cut taxes or head for Mars are the only appropriate choices.

Hello theFIRMbss,

can you please tell me why you formated (is it "format" or "formated"?) your posting this way? I've seen several postings from different people on different forums who write this way and always wanted to ask but never bothered to post the question or register an account. But now the time has come... :)

Thanks,
