Oh really? And how shall we fly astronauts after the retirement of the shuttle? Or is that just a "waste of money" ? Who needs NASA, right? (and their 15 billion dollar budget! Oh my!)
Considering we will be spending 1.8 trillion dollars to bail out various financial idiots and losers , Id say you and your ilk are the ones with screwed up priorities..
You obviously don’t know my views very well. Ares as presented by M. Griffin is a boondoggle that will end up in the annals of space history before it gets off the ground. Griffin just wants a BFR (Big F****** Rocket) and has no plan for its utilization. I’m as big a believer in manned spaceflight as you’ll find on FR, but we need to have sound engineering solutions.
