No? Well, the reason you're not, is because of technology, and advances in science over the ages.

You have to admit that astronomy (NOT science) has done absolutely nothing to improve my, or your, way of life at home. It has just taken tax dollars away from me, to prevent me from buying comfy chairs and wide screen tv's.
You dont see a little sticker on your computer saying "This was made based on the technology of NASA"
But science, science has done tons to improve my life.
Just cut out that astronomy deal and im happy.
