And yet your forget about the Great bill we are leaving our kids and grandkids. Debt service currently takes 15-20% of the entire budget and growing the goverment isn't helping. Do we really wish to stick our kids with a debt that take 35-45% of the yearly budget to service?

Do we need to go to space? Yes we do.
Do we need to grow goverment? No we don't.
Why isn't goverment getting smaller? We control both houses and the white house.

All businesses incur debt. Debt is fine when it is down payment or investment for the future. Space exploration is an investment for a future generations.

Cheap pills for geezers is not an investment. It is money down the rathole.

With the exploration of space we open up the possibility of inventions, discoveries (example: minerals) that may pay for the national debt in a short period of time. We can do this or we can let the Europeans, Japanese, or Chinese do it.
