I understand your arguments. Let me rephrase: This is not the most ideal time in this current econemy and deficit ridden government to be spending billions on space projects.i agree that without NASA were so far behind... But right now I'd love to see some of that money take care of the massive bills we've stacked up, including reducing the spending. But I digress
