If we were explorers, we wouldn't need to be taxed to explore. I think we are video gamers, skateboarders, snowboarders and sports fans who waste a thousand times as much money on frivolous crap as we do on exploration.
"If we were explorers, we wouldn't need to be taxed to explore."
oh for Petes sake,
Building a machines like a Saturn V moon rocket or the shuttle is not something that gets done without taxes nor by a single individual.
Just as building a nuclear aircraft carrier or B2 Bomber.
