You bet. Our space program is a waste of money and never should have been started. Lets add to that some other "big science" projects such as optical and radio telescopes, linear colliders, heavy lifting vehicles, hypersonic vehicles, nuclear power, etc. /sarcasm off>
100 hundred percent. At the expense of taxpayers I fully support that statement, without the sarcasm. Of course 'conservatives' no longer support limited government and instead support their pet projects. Thank God the Wright brothers didn't rely on government funding, else planes would probably not have been invented until 20 years ago.
