i wish these assholes would park the shuttle and lower my taxes.... but if they wont lower the taxes i still wish they would park the shuttle and spend my money on stuff that has a greater effect on my quality of life.
While that would be nice for YOU ... right NOW. How about people 200 years from now. Or 400 years from now. This has to start sometime, we can do it now. Why not?
I mean come on... how can you look at NASA and say they are worthless, they gave us TANG!
Seriously though, lots of R&D and products have come about because of spinoffs of NASA and other space exploration. More will come and we will learn more too. If we don't explore, grow and learn... what's the point of humans?
