Oh and don't get the wrong idea. I have no objection to space exploration per se. It is just the compulsory paying for it by the taxpayers that I object to. I find that almost all of the people who are so avid to spend tax (plundered/looted/stolen) wealth on it would not voluntarily spend any significant fraction of their own income in supporting NASA. I suspect that a voluntarily supported space program would be a lot more focused on real results (like the Keck telescopes) and a lot smaller overall without boondoggles like the space station.

However, I have been happy that my tax money was used for this. If anything, I am very frustrated that we have not done more........Much more!

IMHO... there is no planet or moon in this solar system worth squat... except for the Earth.
I would employ NASA to build orbiting satellites. Our military will arm them with laser weapons.
NATIONAL SECURITY! Real space exploration won't happen for another 200 years... if we humans are still around.

I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree. :o) I see where you are coming from; I protested goobernator Spendquist up here in TN when he tried to ram though the unconstitutional state income tax. I just believe will all my heart that space is the future, as important as national defense, interstate highways, and the mail service.
FReegards!
