:whackasmilie:Can anyone explain why "they" continue to spend billions of $$ on "The Space Program" when we're in such deep doo-doo on THIS planet that the money could be much better spent on taking care of things such as poverty, disease, homelessness, crime, the fucked up economy, did I mention poverty?, and so on...? I'm not that excited about what's on Mars, or whether Pluto is or isn't a planet (altho I think it should be, since it seems very unfair to demote it...and what about all of those saints the Catholic church just "decided" weren't saints anymore, like Saint Christopher---does that mean everyone has to throw out their St Christopher medals hanging in their cars? But I digress....). Anyway, think of ALL that money (AND fuel!!) being wasted on something so frivolous when it's really not helping anyone except those folks employed by NASA. Anyone...?
