[Man of the Right]

What do you care if it costs trillions of dollars? Most of it isn't your money.

Americans had it long ago. I've had it.

You want to put human beings into craft to explore the universe? Fine. Compete for venture financing and do it if you can get funding.

Man...

I believe we all well understand your view and your opinions. To me it seems to be money, mostly your money. In that vein, I have to agree, the government spends lots of money on ventures with which I cannot agree.. Space exploration and its attendant research and development is one in which "ALL MANKIND" will benefit, including you, therefore I see no rational argument against it on a dollar basis.
