– deathboy2i actually like technology. nasa is the one gov program i have a soft spot for
– deathboy4/4I am fascinated how you can hold such absolutely contrary positions in your wee brain. If the use of tax payer dollars for sending humans into space across four decades isn't "stealing" from taxpayers for purposes with zero gaurantee of payback I have no idea what is. On the other hand if you have a "soft spot" for NASA, then you should realize that projects of a certain scale can only be done by government investment with the potential for massive loss - the moonshot for one, energy infrastructure creation for another. War would be a third.
I mean, privately what has anyone done for space travel so far? Have they gotten to orbit yet? The government was able to get to the moon in less then a decade. Ditto petroleum infrastructure, ditto war.
How you hold too radically different concepts in your head but somehow feel the need to criticize people wasting "other peoples money" is utterly psychologically fascinating.
- and as far as a need to get to the moon. there isnt one nor commercial reason. so private industry wouldnt be interesteddeathboy
- but i can enjoy the idea of space exploration and knowledge. i think that beats welfare stamps any day.deathboy
- I hope you wind up on food stamps someday, so I can scron you and blame you for all of the country's problems.DrBombay
