They even built their replicas of the Cargo Planes!.............
unjustified you say. I guess we will have to agree to disagree.

There’s always a better way to reach a goal - let’s find it.
Unjustified?? Tell me one thing that qualifies Premier Hussein to comment professionally in any way about the space program, creating jobs, digging a ditch or even how to run a popsickle stand.
He is the least qualified guy in any room he enters.
One time when the space shuttle blasted off to study global warming, I was looking at all the exhaust coming from the rear of the thing and thinking: “Just look behind you”!
I’m an engineer at NASA. I have been there for the decline of NASA over the past 20 years. NASA has gone from a space agency focused on R&D related to space exploration to a jobs program for people who can check the most minority status boxes (openly gay, Hispanic, one arm, females hired on the spot). NASA’s focus is now process (can hire more people who don’t have a clue as well as paperwork police - who don’t have a clue either). The focus is not good engineering. NASA is afraid of it’s own shadow as well. They won’t take any risks such as new vehicles to send people into space. “Safety is Our Number One Value” is now NASA’s slogan. The month of July (I believe) is set aside for “celebrating gay, transgendered, and bisexual peoples” with HUGE events scheduled weekly. The list goes on and on... Ugh!
If we hadn’t stopped after the Moon, we would have a base on Mars by now.
Program was not just the direct techs nor the spinoffs. But the inspiration to an entire generation of Engineers. Makes it tough to estimate how much tech would not have been developed had it not been for the Manned Space Program.
For us to ever even consider a better way, the outer space treaty will have to go. With its existence, the best a private company can ever hope to be is a space taxi or freight carrier under government contract.
As things stand now, its illegal for the Richard Bransons of the world to build a hotel on the moon. Instead he dreams of low earth orbit thrill rides because that’s all he can dream of.
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2439720/posts NASA is dead. Barry killed it. Or rather sold it to the Chinese who will be there in 2030 or so. One giant leap backward for freedom.
Anybody know where Palin stands on space exploration? Does she want government employees going to space or private citizens on private spacecraft?
