Probably most of us don't like 80% of the things gov't spends our money on. But, we're dying here, our society is dying here, gov't and business is more intrusive every day. We can see the changes year by year, they control our language, control our thoughts, control our education, give us drugs in school to control our disposition. Who likes that?
What I don't like is that we're not getting our money's worth from NASA. In fact, we're getting next to nothing. It could be different: for the same amount of spending NASA could be building the equivalent of the interstate highway system and then we could all roll on down the road, to the moon, to Mars, to asteroids, wherever. They are going to take a slice of all our wallets anyway, why not insist on getting something useful?
