Find exploration of space or that responsibility in the Constitution then. Also I would like to know exactly how wasting money on a trip to the moon, or now to Mars, that could be done cheaper and more efficiently by private industry has saved the lives of any military pilots or given any information to the military.

It is an absolute waste of money on unconstitutional spending. The X Prize has proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that space exploration can be done by private industry. With benefits. The amount of money gained from allowing private citizens into space can be used to pay for even more exploration. It's called capitalism. Too bad Republicans and Democrats are too busy fully embracing socialist ventures

Surely you jest. The Constitution does not say that only what it enumerates is legal. It does provide for powers not specifically listed in it. What do you define as the purpose of the Founders in creating Congress?

Are you a libertarian?
