i'd rather see money spent on rockets and probes that go to space, then weapons tests and DOD bullshit.
I'd rather see the 80 billion we invested in iraq, to go to establishing a base on the moon, and pushing the boundries of mankind forward. Instead of putting us back into another war. Especially, one we can't truly win.
Simple facts, we need NASA, they are going to play a huge part in our future, and the sooner we accept that, and give them the funding they deserve, the faster we can evolve as a society. In just a few short years, we went from unmaned tennis ball sized orbiters, to a 3 man mission to the moon. With proper funding we could set our sights on the moon, and mars.
I might have an idealistc view of it, but if we were to set our sights on the heavens, and work w/ other countries, as we do w/ the ISS, we could achieve far more.
