LOL. Except that I'm not from Canada.

One thing I'll never understand is when I come across conservatives who advocate limited government and despise the notion of one-world government, yet are so gung-ho about a space program that requires massive government expenditures and now involves foreign nationals flying on missions with U.S. military personnel.

Hey, if they want to pass the Big Government Space Programs to the governments of Texas (Houston), Florida (Cape Canaveral), and Maryland (Goddard Space Flight Center), that's fine with me.

I have no problem spending money on NASA. Double it. Triple it!!! It's all about National Pride and "What's out there?"

You remind me of the "grumpy old man" who would sit at his condo window and watch to make sure the other residents don't disobey the rules. Do you have many friends?
