Nonsense, NASA and the military are the 2 things government work actually ends with results.

I hate luddite ‘conservatives’ that can’t stand space and research investment. Reagan sure knew better.

True conservatives embrace genuine scientific research and development, not a jobs program with little to show for the billions of tax dollars poured into it.

Either you are naive or have a vested interest in NASA’s continued funding. There is some real science and engineering going on with NASA funds, but there is also a lot of “social engineering” and “ego monuments” that sap our economy like other government pork that you don’t like.

Sometimes you don’t merely need to “gore someone else’s ox,” but slaughter the whole herd.

The military works despite government.
NASA has sucked down $60 billion a year for decades (you do the math) and the results speak for themselves.
Little more than Tang, Teflon, some pretty pictures and a whole bunch of dead people.

If NASA would quit with all the global warming crap and get back to rockets, I would be more supportive of them. NASA no longer resembles the glorious institution it once was.
