This article is claptrap, ideological dimwittedness etc

Do you work for the government? You are full of opinions, but the fact remains the shuttle is a big fat unconstitutional waste of resources that would better be put to use by the taxpayers who earned them in the first place.

The device you use to post your attacks is the direct result of governement research spending!

The Internet you use to transport those thoughts to this website is a direct result of government research spending!

For the record, I don't now, nor have I ever worked for a government agency or military agency. I have been with many private enterprises, mostly start ups, even ridden a few through to becoming publicly traded companies! Just because I understand the utility of research spending doesn't mean I must be some government hack.

Fact is typical people don't have a clue to just what extent their lives have been affected by government and research spending... because there is no way they could make the completely idiotic statements they do.

You are welcome to go live in the 3rd world, without antibiotics, IC's, reliable water purification and delivery... etc etc... If you think research spending is such a bad thing, please go live in a place that doesn't enjoy the benefits of it.
